All calories are not translated to weight equally, the efficiency your body uses them matters greatly.
Sure dieting couch-potatoes will lose weight, but it will include losing a lot of muscle.
I believe the most well researched book on fat control is Carb-Back Loading by John Kiefer, the references chapter is 50 pages, it's terribly fascinating.

It's like telling a first time driver to worry about double-clutching the gear changes. Stick to the basics, as the person picks everything up, they can worry about the complicated stuff that builds on.
