What happens if an obese person stops eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop eating: An obese person, like a thin person, would lose weight if they stopped eating. If they did it long enough, they would become malnourished even if they were still obese. That's one thing that most people don't realize. You can be obese and be malnourished at the same time.
