What would happen to an obese person if they stopped eating?
Dave S asked:
What would happen to an obese person if they stopped eating completely and only drank water for a few months? Would this person be considered anorexic while still obese? Would the person actually ‘’survive” on their own body fat without aid from nutrients until they were underweight, and die?

They would probably die in 1-2 months.
Fastest Way to Lose Weight
Well, generally when you starve you first burn off your muscle cells, then your fat cells, and then you start to digest your organs.
But yes, an obese person who doesn’t eat for months is considered anorexic, obese or not. And if we’re talking about months and they only had water they’d probably die..
Need to lose weight?
ud cause urself to bloat up more and u would kill yourself. even though u might be over weight… when you stop eating you stop the vitamin intake that keeps you alive and healthy. try talking to your doctor about a diet plan.
Want to lose weight?
wow thats a good question, and i used to know the answer to that. but now i cant quite remember. i think it doesnt work, because their body now needs the ludicrous amounts of nutrients they consume, and would starve like any other person. super weightloss like Jared happened when they gradually reduced how much they ate, just like any other person trying to lose weight…….
but dont quote me on that. thats just what i think I remember.

They would take little more time 2 die than a person with no fat does in d same way…it’s jst my opinion….
Slim down – remove fat
we can not stop food all of a sudden, reduce the intake, slowly controle it, with water only it is not possibel to survive. there should be food or food supplimets, otherwise will get sick, a lot of problems and to take meds then. without water and food we can just survive for certain days only.

I’m very obese woman and I have only been eating a few things the last few days cause my groceries have gone down. Cause I live on my own and can’t drive so have to rely on mom that lives 1 mile. I can tell you exactly what happens..
1. The more fat you have the longer you can live.
2. The more you weigh, however, the more food u can take in and maintain your weight. You got more space and burn more calories when walking or exercising.
3. Water decreases your appetite and burns fat.
4. The bigger you are, the more you would lose on a desert island.
So, I don’t know how many months you’re talking, but if you’re as big as I am you could go atleast 3 months, caue even though you would be weak from malnutrition, our bodies would eat off of our fat cells. A slim person I guess could go 30 days. If you were drinking soda well that would be some nutrients right there, but that wouldn’t be good, cause remember since you’re starving any thing your body takes in it would hold. And than water would help you burn the weight off quicker and you wouldn’t be as deprived. Remember that once you start to lose weight, your body wouldn’t require as much…Like me, Friday was weak and starving and than when I came to mom’s to sit down and eat got full quicker. Actually looking at me, if I lost 100 pounds I’d still be overweight, well anyways..if you saw me you would think I could go about 6 months, but actually no b/c remember the 1st month I would lose a whole bunch of weight!!!
