You might be surprised at the resiliency of the human body under such circumstances.
There was some article a few years back about a grudge-match small-town football game that took place something like 30 years after the first one was called a tie ... with the surviving original players.
The guys got in shape surprisingly fast, and I think almost all of them who were on various weight-related medications (like for high BP) were able to get OFF of them by the time the game rolled around.
I also hearken back to that guy who won the first Survivor who dropped a bunch of weight during the show and ended up in very good shape.
When/if TSHTF diets and other behavioral patterns WILL change and do so on a massive scale. The simple removal of climate controlled environments will drive changes in metabolism as the body has to work harder to keep its own temperature constant at 98.6 when its colder and/or warmer.
