Basically not. Even the people who obsess over "fat-free" do not actually "succeed" sufficiently to be in danger. It's just a funny irony.

Do you have a source for someone surviving a year with zero fat intake? Polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential nutrients, much like the essential amino acids; humans cannot make them (we can only make saturated and monounsaturated fats from carbohydrates). We don't need much, but we need some (they help keep membranes fluid, and are anabolic materials for making prostaglandins). My understanding is that they also don't tend to have particularly-long biological half-lives, as PUFAs are quite susceptible to peroxidation.
I avoid vegetable oil myself (well, not completely, because lol, but I think it's only bread and occasional ice-cream that have it). Of course, I get PUFAs anyway, just not in that kind of absurd quantity - I eat plenty of butter and fatty cuts of meat.
Yeah, losing the weight would definitely have helped repurpose the PUFAs, but even then that he survived a year is a significant update. Thanks.
