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 ?

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

There was a study where a man who was morbidly obese stopped eating altogether and only took vitamins and amino acids and drank water and he had no lasting side effects if I recall correctly.
