                                The longest medically supervised fast was undertaken by Angus Barbieri in Scotland, who survived for 382 days on a restricted non-caloric diet. While this is an extreme example, understanding the maximum number of days without eating sheds light on the incredible, yet finite, limits of human endurance.
