Answer 7

In reality, an excess of adipose tissue does not permit fasting any more than being skinny.  The obese person can certainly eat less - that and exercise are the only way to lose that weight - but going without eating entirely will make them quite ill as rapidly as it would you.  And nobody can go days without water without profound consequences.

Answer 8

Would they be drinking? It takes 3-4 days to die of thirst but a couple of weeks to starve to death. If a person has a lot of fat it would probably take longer seeing as how thier body would be feeding off of the fat tissue. So I guess what I am saying is it depends on how fat the person is. Of course starving themsleves can cause all kinds of other problems as well.

Answer 9

well people can go a while without eating, but no drinking would be the first killer. so... a week would be my guess.

Answer 10

The body can go 5 days without water and atleast 40 days without food.

Answer 11

Depends on the person.
