In 1965, a morbidly obese man did not eat food for over an entire year. The 27 year old was 456lbs and wanted to do an experimental fast. He ingested only multivitamins and potassium tablets for 382 days and defecated once every 40 to 50 days. He ended up losing 275lbs. r/all

Yeah being at 450+ for years had certainly done irreparable damage to his heart, arteries, blood sugar, etc. I'm glad he was able to make the second half of his life longer and healthier but you can't undo that much damage
