    The book addresses some reasons why you can't lose weight, stress and depression were one of them.
    Shouldn't that be "stress and depression were two of them"?

    And, gee, if stress & depression prevent losing weight, then I must be relaxed & cured, because I've done pretty well in the last year, despite being clinically depressed, chronically stressed, worried about losing my house, my healthcare, my food budget, paying bills when I have no money, etc.

    Moderate to severe depression is best treated through a combination of a doctor prescribed medication and psychotherapy.
    Actually, exercise has been shown to be as effective as either of those.

    How would I give evidence to contradict the statement that if you don't detoxify, losing fat will be impossible and dangerous? There isn't any proof to support that statement at all.
    Well, if we're accepting personal experience, then I'm contradictory proof.
    I don't think I've ever "detoxed", and I certainly don't "eat clean", yet I've lost a lot of weight.

    learn why snacking between meals makes you fat
    Um, let me guess: because it means you take in more calories than you burn?
    (In other words, the CI part of the equation is greater than the CO part.)

    Scan means "look at all parts of (something) carefully in order to detect some feature"

    I've noticed that both quality and quantity of food consumed effects my weightloss. However, if I eat clean, my body isn't as stubborn in holding onto food. I definitely need to get a more structured weightlifting plan to burn more at rest also!

    While I'm not disputing your perceived outcome, I will suggest that your reasoning for it may be at least a little flawed.
