My belief is that one cause of obesity is that the body can't get rid of toxins, so it stores them in fat until they break down or can be got rid of. For example, since cancer treatments often involve toxic chemicals, then it would be quite understandable to put on weight to store those toxins that need to be got rid of but can't, so the patient puts on weight as a means to minimise damage to the body.
The problem with this treatment is that it assumes the body can get rid of the fat and any toxins inside it, but that may not be the case. The outcome then, of forcing the body to cut back on fat, would be to release those toxins into the blood stream where they may actually create worse health problems than just being obese, e.g. cause brain damage.
