Further to the Coke diuretic thread:

You're stranded alone on a desert island - no food whatsoever, but a stream provides endless drinkable water, and some dead trees provide adequate firewood (and you've got a zippo).

If you were a skilled surgeon of normal adult male build and had all the right kit with you, how long could you survive eating your own amputated body parts?

You have some issues.... would you like to talk them through?



The only things you could eat are your legs and buttocks.. nice big bits of meat...

Everything else would be required to carve/cook and consume...

Personally I would rather pop to the Mcdonalds the other side of the stream!

In the interests of survival and keeping the majority of me intact for the longest time, I reckon I could last a couple of weeks off my cock to begin with.

I've heard portion control is essential. A 1cm cubed bit of meet every 5 days keeps you going.

a couple of weeks you say hehe

Ray always says eat as much as you can, as often as you can.

It works for him. Clearly.

You wouldn't need to amputate your limbs, when you are starving your body starts digest your muscles anyway.

so how much calorific value can a skilled man remove from his own body and feed to himself before either starving or killing himself, and how long will it last him?

legs and backside, yes.

genitals, yes.

lyposuction, presumably.

belly skin, a few ribs, abdominal muscles?

pecs and lats? 1 arm? one eye?

ears, nose, scalp, wattle?

This is sounding like the plot of Saw VI

If you could survive the stress it put your body under (which chances are, you couldn't) then you would be acchieving nothing anyway. Your body will digest fat and muscle on its own if you don't eat anything, without the massive fluid and nutrient loss that would occur with all the blood pissing out of you.

I might be in a rather strange mood, granted, but half-term doesn't mean much to me any more, besides expensive holidays.

They might atrophy, but the muscles and skin don't disappear, there'd still be a value in eating your legs, wouldn't there?

And there wouldn't be blood pissing out if you had the right gear, were capable at amputations, and somehow managed to stay conscious? And the bonemarrow is very nutricious as well.







I've been in a weird mood all day.

I seem to remember watching a survival show where the they told you how to actually remove your leg without passing out, from what I can remember it was to use a belt or similar to lower the blood supply to the limb and saw through the flesh, but around the bone and to then snap the bone last as apparently sawing through the bone is the stage at which you would be most likely to go into some form of shock so by snapping the bone quickly you minimise the risk.

Doesn't really answer the question but I thought you might find it interesting.

Eating your own body parts wouldn't work as you would be taking matter out to simply re-ingest it again. Far better to cut off a little finger and use the flesh as bait to catch fish.
