Hunger
I, like most people in the first world, have never really felt hunger.
The closest I've come to it is 30 hours without food (but with juice), or the occasional 24 hour fast.
What I want to learn is what it feels like to be hungry. I am worried about possible long-term (or even short-term!) damage. So, my question is:
How long is a safe fast? Is there anything in particular I should be doing to make it safer? Should I ease into it? How dangerous is going without food for 24 to 48 hours?
I doubt I'll try something like this without first consulting a medical professional, but I thought I'd see if anyone here has any useful information as an early step.
I just have the feeling that, without ever feeling real hunger, I won't understand a good chunk of human motivation.
