You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been
popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more
overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that
eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

True. You actually have to eat of the low-fat part of the menu.

And, here is the key: You have to eat appropriate portions so that you eat
the same number of calories that use or less.

Here's the problem with your suggested approach:

There is no reliable practical way to measure calories at either end.

The vast majority of folks don't have a bomb calorimeter.

The vast majority of folks don't have access to real time continuous
VO2 monitoring.

Thankfully, there is a better approach:

Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK.

If you stay one a low-calorie diet, one that is lower than the number of
calories that you use, then it will work.

Don't forget to add excercise.

The bottom line is that if you use more calories than you eat, you will lose
weight.
