I am incredibly stupid
Are you saying that the body doesn't break down its fat reserves when it's starved?

e: Because I can find you a whole load of pictures of people on a reduced diet in extremely stressful conditions and spoiler alert they look like skeletons.

e2: Otherwise, your point that long-term weight loss is a willpower and lifestyle thing is an important one when looking at how to address the issue. In the same way that simply telling an alcoholic to stop drinking or a smoker to stop smoking is not usually an effective intervention, just telling fat people to stop eating so much is not going to help them even if it is fundamentally the answer to their problems.
