The length at which the human body can go without food depends on many factors including your muscle mass, body fat percentage, basal metabolism, genetics, daily activity, sleep pattern, breathing rate, heart rate, presence of meditation, etc.
There are certain individuals (very inactive, morbidly obese, but young) that can go up to 30 weeks without food before dying.
There are other individuals (old, frail, sickly, and low body fat) that can go maybe 2-3 days without food before dying.
However, a good rule of thumb in the medical world is 4-6 weeks for an "average" person.
I would NEVER advise starvation in any case. It is one of the single most DAMAGING things to the human body.
