If a fat person starved to death would they get thin before they died?

No, they wouldn't, actually, yeah they would. They would get anorexia, the eating disorder where a person will not eat because they see themselves as fat and even if they are really skinny already, they don't see it. They would start getting thin and getting used to not eating and then every time after that when they'd try to eat they would throw up like twice. Then their body would get hairier and they would be unable to do medium or large amounts of walking and they wouldn't be able to play sports, run, or jump. If they could they'd run out of energy and puke again. If this continued without medical help they would die and be extremely skinny, but they wouldn't be able to see that they were skinny they still would see themselves as fat.

i beleive when you get to a point where you can't move to get something or do something yourself , or have a very hard time doing it,you are too fat.  My father weighs 600 lbs and he can't even walk any more , but it is not a criminal act , although it is one of the seven deadly sins of the bible known as glutiny, no one else can be held responsible for someone eating their selves to death. cause even if someone else is giving them the food , they pretty much have to feed them til they are full or it won't let them rest at all. p.s  I am a big guy too. but  i am perfectly capable of everything anyone else does with a lot of ease.  i work a factory job and work 12 and 16 hrs a day and can't lose weight for the life of me , i don't consume that much food. some people are naturally heavy , and those are the ones that are the most misunderstood.

to obtain glucose, your body uses the food that you eat, breaks it down into sugars, carbons and waste, and then uses the sugar and carbons. you can guess where the waste ends up. anyway, if you stop eating, your body will finish digesting the last meal you ate. after that has been used up, your liver stores an approx 24 hours of glucose. when that has been used up, your body has 2 types of fat. brown fat, the fat that you have to keep you warm, and white fat, the extra energy-rich fat. your body will break down the white fat first, producing energy and something called keytones. in large quantities, keytones are deadly, but they come out of your system through urine. anyway, when the white fat has been used up, the brown fat is broken up. then the body begins to break down your muscles and begins to take nutrients from your bones. soon, you cant lift yourself up because you lack the muscles, your bones are more breakable than glass, and your body begins to dissolve your organs. not long later, you die. \n\nin someone who is diabetic, the body cannot digest the sugars that you have, so their goes the first two steps in the starvation ladder. you end up dying more quickly. all of the sugar builds up and is eventually pours out into your urine.\n\none last note, if you starve yourself, your keytones wont all be able to come out in your urine. so you will get a buildup of keytones, wich, depending on if you are overweight, would end up killing you before starvation does. this depends on how overweight you are.

no-you would die long before that! Fat is essential for our survival. It's found in places you may not be aware of. It's part of: \n\n\nevery cell membrane \nsome hormones and prostaglandins (hormone-like substances) which regulate many body functions \nnerve sheaths (nerve coverings) \n\nFat also plays an important role in keeping our bodies healthy. For example: \n\n\nA layer of fat surrounds each organ (such as your heart, liver, kidneys, etc.), protecting and cushioning it against impact during sports or accidents, to name a couple of benefits. \nFat helps maintain normal body temperature. \nFat provides us with a supply of stored energy, which can sustain us if food is not available. \n\nIt is dangerous to eliminate all fat from your diet. Certain fats, essential fatty acids, can only be obtained from foods. These are incorporated into regulators of specific body processes, such as blood pressure. Dietary fats are also required to absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K. These nutrients are vital to our vision, bone formation and maintenance, blood protection and clotting, and nerve development, and can act as a defense against oxidation. Without fat, we would be, well, a mess. Long before your body could have 0% fat your vital organs would shut down and you would die. \nThe lowest possible fat percentage a person has achieved was 3% for a male professional body builder.

DO NOT FAST!!!!!!! Our bodies need food to work properly. That is why we get hungry. Every organ of our bodies need the nutrients in the foods we eat. If you fast your body starts to eat itself. Look at the people in Etheopia. They HAVE to fast because they don't get food. Yeah they're skinny, but do they look healthy? They look withdrawn, sick, sad. When you eat a healthy balanced diet, you feel good, you look good, your skin glows, you're less likely to get sick, you boost your immune system, your organs and brain functions at top notch. When you starve....it's exactly the opposite. If you laid in bed all day and did nothing....your body burns about 1100 calories just to survive. This includes thinking, breathing, heart beating. If you fast...where is your body gonna get that energy? Not all from fat! It will be muscle.

you do realize that not eating will ruin your organs, cause you to be covered with fur, and likely kill you, right? because why not go straight for suicide instead of taking the scenic route? you're going to be a skinny corpse. good for you. \n\nnow get therapy before you continue to put everyone who loves you through hell.

We understand it just fine. What you don't understand is that you're slowly killing yourself-- your organs are slowly dying as your body eats itself.\n\nDo you want to live? If so, you have to eat at least the bare minimum to remain ALIVE. That's a biological FACT.  \n\nAnorexia kills people.  It's not that we're being mean, it's simply a fact. If people don't eat, they'll die.  That's just how it is.

The body has a self defense mechanism....When you "starve" yourself, your body actually thinks that....that it is starving and it will hold onto what it already has...kinda like self preservation. Don't know if you know this either, if you do start losing weight due to the "starvation" method, you're losing valuable muscle tissue...not the fat.  Fat cells NEVER go away, they just shrink, when you lose muscle, it's harder to get that back. Just be careful.  If you insist on starving yourself....PLEASE eat a banana a day.  The potassium will keep your heart running.  Trust me. Be careful!

A person can live without food for quite some time, usually for many weeks. \nThe body will use its fat and protein stores (muscles) to help it survive. \nIf a person has a lot of fat stores (is very heavy), they will live longer than a \nperson who has very little fat (very thin), so how long a person can survive \ndepends a lot of the person. Of course, if you go without food for a few weeks, \nyou will be very weak since you have been using your own muscles for energy. \n\nWater is a different story. A person will die within 3-4 days without water. The \nsize of the person really doesn't make much difference.

It can be. Morbid obesity can leave a person unable to walk or move without assistance. Now, I'm not talking about being a little chubby, I'm talking about cases where a person grew so fat that their muscles can't support their weight. In those cases, it's a disability.

Perhaps surprisingly, humans can subsist for some time without food. I depends on the fat content of the individual's body to begin with, but one to two months is not unheard of. At that point, the body is so weakened that the heart literally does not have the strength to continue beating.\n\nWater is much more essential. A human will thirst to death in as little as four days, though if they remain inactive throughout the period, it is possible to last as long as three weeks, at the extreme. Most people will perish in seven to ten days, however.

Basically starving yourself to lose weight eating only enough to stay alive.

This is what we, in healthcare, call the body eating itself.  When there is no or low fat for the body to use for energy it will automatically use whatever it can find.  This protein consuming machine, our body, will eventually shut down because the major organs will be destroyed or give out.  This is what happens in anorexia.

No weight gained during fasting but after the fast is broken, the body will be on starvation mode and will try to store as much nutrients as it can; convert food to fat in order to sustain the body for another fast.

If animals in the wild could get fat, they certainly would.  Very few wild animals are able to find enough food to get fat though.  Bears preparing for the winter pack on as much high fat food as they can, to put on their winter weight to survive the lean periods of the winter.\n\nWild animals that do gain access to excess food, such as squirrels in many park environments, or pigeons in many cities can certainly become 'overweight'.\n\nIt's a natural reaction of any animal to an excess of food.  In order to survive, you put away as much high quality food as you can because you can't be sure when or if you'll ever get any more.
