Read the article, it explains you're still going to need proteins because some organs can't use the fat.

I did, although I'd hardly call 3 short paragraphs an article. I'm just telling you what an actual doctor told my friend. I'm assuming the body can cannibalize muscle for protein, but I'm not a doctor.

It does, but the issue is that it will also consume your heart and it will fail. That was in the article.
