Sometimes it's a vice. Other times it's not.

It is from the point of view of people sitting on the sidelines telling someone how to lose weight.
Do you measure how much oxygen you need, how much you are exerting yourself, the volume of your lungs, and calculate how much you need to breathe, and then breathe only that much?
Of course not, your body regulates your breathing automatically, when you need more oxygen you breathe deeper, more often, etc.
If you have severe allergies you could reduce your exposure to allergens by breathing less, but that's not an option because your body tells you how much you need to breathe.
So what if your body is telling you how much to eat, but that amount of food results in being overweight. So you're telling someone to eat less than their body is telling them to. To breathe less because they're allergic to food.
Because the body will go to extreme lengths to prevent weight loss. Imagine the hungriest you've ever felt. Now imagine feeling like that all day long, even after you've had a large meal, because your body is trying to get back to a weight.
It doesn't help that the worst foods out there are
designed to make you eat the most possible while satisfying hunger the least possible.

That's one of the things that makes it more difficult. You can quit smoking and drinking alcohol completely. You can't quit eating completely.
