    Yes. That is exactly how it works. Your diet could be 100% chocolate bars and with a calorie deficit you would lose weight.

    Including foods that you really enjoy in your weight loss plan is a sensible approach but, for the sake of your health, you should try to eat a balanced diet including protein, healthy fats, and vegetables.

    I have read the Twinkie Diet were that person just ate sweets but still lost weight because it was still in a calorie deficit.Just because it works does not mean it can work on another person though.

    It's still a calorie deficit

    With a calorific deficit - any diet will lead to weight loss. This is compliant with the 1st law of thermodynamics and I can't think of a reason as to why that would not work for everyone.

    The health implications of living entirely on Twinkies would be disastrous (as would living entirely on lettuce) but you would lose weight.
