Other Answers:
I'm assuming you are talking under medical advice and/or supervision? Probably so that they won't die!

so they wont die

None. They'll just get rid of the food some way. The best thing to do is to get them into counseling. They'll know how to handle it and you won't end up in jail.

To prevent starvation of course. If you think it's that bad, you should talk to the individual's doctor about posibly trying intravenous feeding.
