It’s the food equivalent of declaring bankruptcy. If you don’t fix the behaviours you’ll just end up in debt again.

This assumes underlying behaviours are core reason. Research (tein, adoption) suggests otherwise

Practically speaking, any person could starve themself (short of death) and lose weight. In almost all cases there is no magic to storing more energy than you need.

Practically speaking any person cannot maintain that for significant length of time. Dieting has like a 99% fail rate by year 2. It’s hard to maintain that for many people — your body will keep you in starvation mode, keep you hungry and hang on to every calorie received.
