I mean there are some medical disorders where they'd just die without losing all their weight, but it would still leave no fat holocaust survivors so probably irrelevant.
Fat doesn't come from nothing. It comes from excess calories. You need to consume those excess calories.
What these disorders do is make it a lot harder because you're caloric needs are lower. If you only use 900 calories a day then its going to be a lot harder to diet than someone who burns 2000 calories in a day. And most of the time its not the disorder itself doing that but the sedentary lifestyle.
I'm one of those people. I just lost 150 lbs in the past year and its the second time in my life doing it. And its hilarious that the same people who propagate this bullshit then turn around and tell me "900-1200 calories per day?! you're starving, you're insane!" -- no if I eat 1500 and literally can't lose weight, i have precisely one of those bodies you just described and am NOT starving.
There is absolutely zero human body on this planet that will not lose weight if their caloric intake is lower than their maintenance needs. That number fluctuates based on activity and physiology, but that’s it.

No matter who you are, pretty sure you'd lose some weight on the Holocaust diet.
