With water and if not suffering from a medical condition, like diabetes requiring regular food intake, you could survive for weeks. ( I read of a buddhist monk who went on a fast for months, but he prepared beforehand by eating enough to fatten up significantly, by several stone)

After the first 36/48 hours your body will already start using up longterm stocks, which as these also usually serve as toxic-waste-disposal sites around the body will cause your breath and perhaps skin to smell as the toxins are liberated.
After a while your body will start using up muscle mass and converting the protein in that into sugars for energy, which will also produce smelly by-products ( forgotten their name, chetones? ) , but you can prevent the most disturbance to your system if you continue to do a little light exercise each day, and go outside in the sunlight.( to avoid entering too much of a low-metabolic rate, hibernatory state)

I gather that if you are in a supportive/calm/secure environment, start the fast in reasonable health, and don't get into stressful panic about not eating, it is possible to fast for up to 40 days with no ill effects.
It helps if have already fasted previously. Almost to practise.

In the West people get scared about it, and often suffer withdrawal symptoms from many foods to which are addicted, if try to stop eating even for a day.
I tried to go on a fruit fast at university, and i didn't even last one day. And the main reason was fear. I literally got scared , aswell as suffering fom my addictive food-intolerance to wheat and dairy which i knew nothing about at that time.

Since then I have managed to fast completely for one 3 day period, many times for one or two days, and to partially fast, on fruit or raw food , for up to a week, on several occasions.

It can be a very interesting experience. The first time i ever successfully fasted, for 3 days entirely, and then another 3 days on very restricted foods, i suddenly discovered that the world was real and outside of my head. This was a revelation!! And similar discoveries went on to change my life.

some meatloaf and raisins for breakfast
a slice of vegetarian pizza, some greek salad, and some stir fried rice.
did i eat dinner?...ermmm....i remember hastily spread some mayo on a slice of wheat bread, throwing some turkey on the bread, and shoving the food down my mouth as ran out of door.

apple and grape juice

rice cakes with foie gras d'oie

juicy chewy lamb chops/cuts with fresh coriander, olive oil, and lemon juice, with brussels sprouts

black coffee

3 marzipan specialities from South of France called Calissons, and 5 nougat.
