He makes some good points and it makes complete sense. Thoughts?

**NOTE: He's not saying fat people shouldn't eat. He's saying they physiologically don't need to eat and would reap a ton of benefits from water/dry fasting.

    As someone who has dieted in unhealthy ways in the past, I will just say this is absolutely not true.

    I was at least 75lbs overweight, for reference. When I dieted unhealthily, I would eat 400-500 calories a day. sometimes less. Because of this there would be times where I would be simply walking or doing something non-strenuous, daily living, and i would become dizzy, have my vision go temporarily black, and even pass out.

    Even 'fat' people need to have proper intake for their bodies to function. Period.
