It is that simple... terrible to go through... but simple
The body begins feeding upon the built up fat to sustain itself. Keep liquidated... and you will lose fatness (and weight). However, starve for too long and you begin to lose muscle mass too. You can see this survival tactic used by cold-weather mammals as they prepare for winter (Bears for instance). Nomadic hunter/gatherers were no different: they needed to stay warm over the winter, and they needed to survive foodless periods. Buildup of fat, and the body using this fat had the duel effect of keeping them nourished (albeit painfully?) and keeping them warm.
Simply not eating is how you lose fatness... though there are healthier methods (albeit slower) that one can pursue in exercise and maintaining a healthy diet.![Smile Smile](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)
An interesting tidbit on eating plants. Plant cells are made of cellulose, which is very difficult to digest. Therefor the body needs to work harder to obtain the nutrients from them. The body does not get it all (in fact, it gets very little..), so you end up with a system that gives you few more nutrients than meats... remains largely indigested (thus plant 'fibers')... and makes your body digest any remaining fat and muscle mass to sustain itself. Why do you think so many vegetarians are 'scrawny wimps'?

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
