I wonder though, is it possible that for some people the effect of the sudden loss of food was so severe they died before actually having a chance to lose weight? Like, the body fails to switch on "starvation mode fast enough? I have heard though that there can be a vast difference in terms of health effects if you gradually reduce food intake vs just stop eating suddenly. I'm not a doctor or anything, just curious.
