It is an interesting thought. What is the rate at which fat tissue can be used by the body as a food source? If its lower than the rate of sustenance needed to stay alive then you need consume the difference to avoid dying.

Practically I think there are health issues with losing weight too fast

Most people gain it right back too. It's dangerous, and without lifestyle changes, useless.
