      You get real hungry, but nothing bad happens to your body. Humans are capable of spending days without eating!

      Nothing much! You would probably get very hungry, but unless you have a condition like diabetes, where you have to regulate your blood sugar levels, your body is well capable of keeping going for much longer without food!

      You’d be very hungry! However going without water is much more serious and can lead to dehydration, a rise in blood electrolytes; sodium, potassium, urea and kidney failure (not after 20 hrs but within days)
