This is clearly a nonsense though.

I know the 'low carbs!' crowd love to preach all that sort of rubbish, but if you eat less you lose weight. Even if you eat a hell of a lot less, we vastly overestimate the required amount of daily intake. If you're getting to the point starvation is messng up your metabolism, you're eating little enough that you're still going to be droppin dem pounds.

Now this probably isn't super healthy (though we overplay this - unless you're to the point of anorexia, and your body starts to eat itself, it's not directly unhealthy bar serious illness or getting hit by a car etc but eh).

Yes, it is true that if you eat zero calories you will lose weight like gangbusters. The problem comes in after you start eating again. When you starve yourself (and by this I mean eating a drastically unhealthy amount of calories, not just eating 1600 when you had been eating 3000), your body starts reacting biochemically to being in a famine period, and starts immediately storing any excess calories it does get in preparation for further famine. That means whenever she doesn't forget to eat, her body is storing the excess calories as fat. This is why people who do fad diets that aren't just bullshit often end up heavier than they were before.

Here's a link so I'm not just talking out of my ass: http://www.epigee.org/fitness/crash_diets.html Googling "why crash dieting is bad" brought that up first thing, in addition to many other nice websites.
