Spanish term or phrase: "falta de ingestión absoluta"

Hi there! I'd like to know the English equivalent for this phrase "la falta de ingestión absoluta"... The text is about nutrition. Context:
Si la energia adquirida en la ingestión es insufiente para las necesidades del organismo, se pierde peso; y las grasas almacenadas en el cuerpo, y en menor grado las proteinas, se utilizan para suplir la energia necesaria. La falta de ingestión absoluta causa la muerte en 8 a 12 semanas.
I'd appreciate any suggestions!! =)
Thank you very much!!!
