How long can the human body stand on hunger strike?

The average time is 60 days. But the results may vary depending on the individual's metabolism or the strategy used during the strike. Between the third and fifth day of the strike, the body begins to consume body fat to produce energy. When a person loses about 18% of their initial weight (usually from the third week onwards), the body drastically reduces metabolism. If the hunger strike continues, the body literally begins to consume itself – muscles, organs – ______________ acquire the energy necessary to stay alive.
