How long did it take the infected to starve in 28 Days Later?

At the end of the movie 28 Days Later, we see that many of the infected are starving. But how long did it actually take all of the infected to starve to death? The main character wakes up after 28 days in a hospital, and then some time passes when he meets new people. But then even more time has passed when we see the jet fly over at the end. We know that the infection is wiped out, well almost, by the sequel 28 Weeks Later, but that is a long time for all of the infected to have survived with no food. Any help would be appreciated.

I actually just watched the sequel 28 Weeks Later a few days ago. In the beginning of it showed: "5 weeks later: The infected have died of starvation" - so about 35 days.
