It's basic science
Sure, but to use this as a diet plan would be incredibly stupid.
Satiety has to be taken into account. People aren't going to overcome their primal urges to eat. Eating 500 calories of donuts won't leave you as satisfied as eating 500 calories of avocados or something else that has a good nutrient profile with some healthy fats.

People all the time do the Big Mac diet or Twinkie diet to prove that as long as you are under your calories you will lose weight
I'm not sure what real point it proves other than that you can have SHORT TERM success on a very stupid diet.

Everyone agrees, but that isn't the point.

That's for sure!

Lots of diets meet this. Atkins being a prime example. In the long tern, "diets" don't work period.
As many have said, a wholesale lifestyle change is the only thing that works.
