That is an absolute undeniable fact. Not sure what your are confused about. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will in fact lose weight. Where those calories come from makes no difference. If you are talking overall health, THATS when “what” you eat matters. People always want to move the goalpost and conflate the issues. If you want to lose weight AND be healthy, you still have to be in a calorie deficit, but with a more balanced diet while getting proper amounts of micro and macro nutrients.
