I'm experimenting with VLCD right now, and it doesn't seem to take much willpower either.

As a side note, will you agree to update everyone in 6 months or a year with how your experiment went?

I doubt I will do it longer than a month or two, but sure, success will be measured in a longer time span. I think losing weight is significantly harder than maintaining it, it's just that most people fail to include maintaining weight to their plans.

Starving for a year doesn't sound like a great dieting plan either.
