"falta de ingestión absoluta"

español al inglés Medicina Nutrición nutrition
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!!!

¡Mil gracias Natalia! ¡Buen fin de semana!
agree Bubo Coroman (X) : this is the idea! Suggestions: I think it's more idiomatic to use the indefinite article "a" and also "total" because "complete" has positive connotations and "total" is more neutral. So: a total lack of food intake
