Made to leave the fast way (7,3)

I believe the answer is:

starved out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'made to' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'the fast way' is the wordplay.
'the fast' becomes 'starve' (to fast is to refrain from eating food).
'way' becomes 'dout' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'starve'+'dout'='STARVED OUT'

'leave' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
