That and a bunch of reasons

Three piles. Background, I moved roughly every two years from 1 until mid twenties. Not a military family. Even with this I still move several boxes of stuff that I never open until the next move.
First pile is stuff you must keep/love.
Second is stuff that is okay or may be nice-to-have.
Third is stuff that can be sold/donated/disposed of.
Get rid of the last two piles.
Just need to input fewer calories than you use. A body at rest still uses calories to maintain basic life. So just keep them hydrated and add certain nutrients that aren’t in stored fat. Unfortunately your body can also use muscle as stored energy. If you are inactive, it will burn muscle more than you’d like. It’s expensive to keep around. So if you’re on starvation diet and not using them. No reason to keep them. The body burns them up. So in the end you’ll be lighter, but also extremely weak. The effort of rehabilitation may be as bad as trying to exercise and diet not in a coma.
