If an overweight person wanted to lose weight, why could that person not just starve i.e not eat for several days and then be back to normal weight and healthy? Why is this not a good option?

I think it's more psychological.
They get so hungry that their mood goes south, they then binge and quit.
You'd probably have to lock someone up to give them an all liquid diet.
Also you need some vitamins and minerals to replace things that arent stored.

>back to normal weight and healthy

Ketone bodies are a temporary solution and acidosis will fuck you up

Because you need to fucking eat ? Eating isn't only about muh energy, you absorb shit like iron, vitamins and other important molecules to maintain proper body functions.
That's why diet focuses on making you use more energy than you consume, you need to eat.

I'm not going to bother actually answering your question, I'm just going to say that there's is absolutely 0 zero for someone to do what you mentioned
And yet so many do so.
Just grab a meal plan and keep at it.
There's keto for people that want rapid weight loss and bad breath
Skeletors and fatties shoo shoo

vitamin and mineral deficiencies
screwed up metabolism
starvation diets rarely work without heavy stimulant use, and they are never healthy

staving may be unhealthy but if they go to a doctor and tell him and get a meal plan with low calories and exercise should be easy
It's possible and has been done successfully by at least one person I know of. He took vitamin and mineral supplements to avoid deficiency and consumed only water for around a year. Lost a tonne of weight, but, as happens all to often to fatties, gained it back eventually.
A less extreme form of 'starvation' diet is the PSMF which is well-respected for rapid weightloss in athletic and bodybuilding communities.

It's quick fix for weight, but underlying problem remains, i.e. pig keep doing pig things.
Keto is kinda better, for even after, you remember the high-energy sensation and keep giving it a shoot now and then.
I mean, the juicing diet is pretty much this
2,4-dinitrophenol and a diet of salmon, water and antihistamines.
Intermittent fasting is exactly that, except not actually starting since that only starts after 3 days of not eating
