After ~30 days, will Hurley remain heavy?
I'd say so. Larger people tend to have lower metabolisms, so he may lose less weight per day than people with a much smaller share of extra padding.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'd like to see the actor playing Hurley start losing weight noticably, maybe 20 pounds+, in the first season/40 days.
He's strong, capable, and pitches in. The restricted diet, mostly proteins and fish and a little boar meat together with the physical activity, IRL he'd be rolling off the weight after a month.
Mainly I know this because I was (and am again) big like that and I started shedding pounds like water when I was isolated taking care of a run-down resort back during the summer when I was in college.
Poor actor would have to work hard off camera for it, tho.

Go ahead. Turn this into an Atkins advert.

Any other "four years" references so far?

Jack, you're trapped in an alpha male body. Deal, buddy.
Damn, I like Locke. I also dig Hurley. Shannon's the only one I want to vote off the island.

Several of the heaviest Survivor contestants could still be described as heavy after even an almost 40 day stint on the show.
ETA: Context, and: while many of the skinnier contestants turned positively skeletal.

Weight loss X-postyness.
Still? It did take two or three weeks for it to start rolling off. I lost over 100 pounds in six-seven months without trying hard. Lost even more at the 1 year mark.
Sadly, I'd gained it all back in the ten years since I had surgury*. Losing it again is a much harder process.
ETA: * No, not weight-related.
