I heard that if you don’t eat for a week, and then if you start to eat, your body will store more fat because it thinks that food is getting scarce, therefore fasting is not a reliable way of losing weight.
But if we eat Dietary Fiber vegetables (food that we cannot fully process) instead of literally starving ourselves, then does the body say “oh look, the stomach is full, therefore no need for storing fat” ?
Does this mean that if i make my diet 70% vegetables and 30% soup, will i start to lose weight?

That is 100% bullshit. Your body is not capable of thought, only your brain. It doesn’t ‘know’ you just fasted. What people who resume eating after fasting experience is rapid weight gain in the form of water, as resumption of carb intake will require water(500g of carb will bind with 2kg of water).
If you eat more kcal than you need per day, the excess is stored as fat. Track your kcal intake and look up a TDEE calc to help you set a goal weight. If you don’t count kcal, your body still will.
