How many days would you survive on a diet of this?'

(For those that wonder ... this recipe is the preparation of "instant noodles".)

If people with anorexia can survive for years you' ll be fine. January blues?
 
If the vegetables are freshly added, you'd probably be able to get enough nutrition to remain healthy for a decent amount of time.

That being said, if it's a question of survival only, you'd be able to survive quite some time probably. Saw a program the other day with some woman who's only been eating chips (crisps) for years and years. That's literally all she eats. She's not exactly healthy but she is alive and can still go to work every day.

Click to expand...

Not January blues ... but rather planning to buy a house. A small townhouse ... that is.

All I'm looking for in my small town is a 2 bedroomed house with, 1 bathroom, a garage, a kitchen and a living space of some sorts. A patch of grass would also by thrown in most likely I think.
 
pretty sure at least several months. NO food is 2 months, and that stuff gives you tons of carbs and sodium + a few other scraps. I think you will check out mentally before you die though.
 
Quite a long time, but there are healthier ways to eat for the same cost, or even a little less.
 
You can work out your budget to occasionally throw in things like meat etc... What about going to visit your parents for supper ;-). Also you'd survive a couple of months on it, but you'd start to get sick quicker, weaker.
 
Have a braai, invite lots of friends over.
We usually have so much excess meat left from friends after a braai it keeps us going for ages
 
I don't think you'll last very long on a diet of noodles only. Mix in some other cheap foods. In an Indian home, some of the staples are tomatoes, onions, chilli, spices, potatoes, dhall, dried beans. These are relatively cheap foods and all you need to do is add in a few pieces of meat if you want.
 
I used to survive on noodles for weeks at a time...but that was when I was at varsity...and I "boozed up" my monthly allowance in one weekend :D
 
I heard people who ate noodles for long periods got a form of scurvy :erm: DON'T DO IT PICARD :cry:
 
A long time, but you will develop nutritional deficiencies. Your hair will fall out, your teeth will rot, you will be tired all the time. You will end up old before your time.
