Everyone has heard that phrase but it doesn't really make sense. is that for a thin person or a fat person? Could a really fat person live for a couple of months without food?

There's a fat guy that didn't eat for 382 days and survived, he lost a lot of weight.

Camels and other drought adapted animals break down fat to provide water also whales.

I'm ambivalent about this.

And the catch is what? That he drank everything he needed? That he slipped out to McDonald's at midnight when nobody was looking?

you can do no food as a fatty better, but mainly for the fat because protein needs might be better served by a body builder.

the fatty that did >1y was using electrolytes in the hospital I believe (basically salt-water and maybe also vitamins).

though I doubt it's good for anyone. 3 days is probably a healthy-ish limit for anyone and if it goes to 10 or more it's probably retarded because it doesn't even feel good at all unless you are a psychopath (I've done it twice at least).

not him but I know the case. he was obscenely fat so fat-needs were fine so it was mainly a matter of protein and micronutrients.

they were giving him vitamins and electrolytes I believe so he was obviously burning his own protein so they probably almost killed him but he managed to survive by using a lot of him muscle.

Yes, though iirc you should supplement certain nutrients. /fit/ has a fasting general for weight loss, there are plenty of stories like that.

They're just rules of thumb. They're not meant to cover every single possibility, just the most probable ones.
