If the answer is "yes" so what? If overweight individuals could be less overweight then don't you think they would be already?
Kind of like asking a heroin addict "will using heroin hurt your career?" Yes? Oh well let me quit right this second then...
Ditto smokers, alcoholics, other eating disorders, depression, mental illness, drug users, sex-addicts, internet-addicts, et al.
I'm no expert on curing this stuff but I do know that shaming them or putting tons of pressure on them (quit or X Y Z will happen) is the opposite of progress.
I don't know - sometimes external motivation can help. i.e I lost two stone (28lbs) because a) I was approaching my 40th birthday, and didn't want to be fat and 40, and b) I wanted to stay healthy for little girl.
