This guy was under (some) medical supervision with some supplements and with regular testing. Your situation sucks, but this man is not doing what is happening to your wife and you shouldn't be offended by a story about the worlds most extreme outlier case of dieting.

Not to mention, OP's wife is completely not the norm. There's a growing majority of overweight, obese and morbidly obese people in the developed world who do not have any medical problem with absorbing food through their GI and for whom losing some fat stores would be a health boon. It is unclear why OP associates this man's anecdote with his wife — the man of the article was not reported to lose GI function because of his fast. He was just morbidly obese, and stopped eating until he was at a relatively healthy weight.
