if a morbidly obese person suddenly stopped eating anything, and only drank water, would all the fat get burnt before this person eventually dies from starvation ? How much longer could that person theoretically survive as compared to an average one ?

Question

Currently on a diet. I have no idea how this weird question even got into my mind, but here we go.

Answer 1

its called waterfasting, the current record is for a guy around one year i think, or maybe 400 ish days, generally depends, u need vitamins to stay for longer since vitamins and minerals dont get stored, the first 3 or 4 days are the hardest, if u pull through them the rest is ez and u get a surge of energy and clarity, u lose a lil bit of muscle but not as much as u would think so its worth it
