Like others mentioned, your body can allocate energy in a variety of ways depending on hormones. If you're at a caloric deficit, your body can do things like: reduce heat production, reduce energy available for activities, reduce metabolism, reduce production of proteins for hair/fingernails, etc. There's no hard requirement it burns fat. That's what healthy bodies do of course, but metabolic syndrome is where that entire system doesn't work.

Do you have anything to back those up? > reduce heat production Then what? It only takes a few hundred kcals of lesser heat production to reduce an adult body a few degrees, which would cause severe hypothermia. > there's no hard requirement it burns fat To what extent? Are you saying he would die of starvation before losing significant weight?
