I am looking for a detailed description of the human process of starvation-
A day by day account of how the body reacts and eventually dies.
Pls respond ASAP. Thank you.

Hi accuracy:

I have found several excellent descriptions of what happens to the
human body during starvation. They all agree that there are three (or
four) distinct phases to starvation, and that the process can last up
to 50 days or longer (or less if you have less body weight to start).

The best description of starvation that I found was at:

Another site gives similar information in (perhaps) more approachable
terms:

What happens when you starve?

The following biology lecture takes a more scientific view:

Lecture 24. Biochemistry 3521 - Fordham University - 1999
http://www.library.csi.cuny.edu/~davis/Biochem_3521/lect24/lect24.html
(Click on the "E. Well-Fed to Starvation Paradigms of Metabolism"
link.)

A 32-slide PowerPoint presentation on the process of starvation can be
found at: http://www.ams.rdg.ac.uk/DMCB/neurosci/am208/AM208Lecture14/sld001.htm

One last interesting link:

(Scroll down to the "What happens to the human body when it lacks food
for a prolonged period of time?" question.)
