We have tons of evidence to the contrary in multiple disciplines. Like, have you never made a conscious dietary change?

Most dietary changes fail, I don't think that's a good example actually.

In any case, yes I have, but the only time it has worked was when I changed my environment (stopped slouching at home bored with a full pantry) and my impulses (filled my days with activities so that boredom hunger wouldn't strike). Only changing one would make me last a couple of weeks max

Different people struggle with different impulses. I don’t have much trouble permanently modifying my diet. I struggle, on the other hand, with keeping a normal sleep schedule.
