If you read the article, you would have realized that calorie deficits do not necessitate weight loss, for a variety of reasons.
Thinking like an engineer, one should ask the question that is our underlying assumption, that is: is a calorie a calorie. The truth is, there are good calories and bad calories, and by eating good calories (fat, fiber, and protein) instead of bad calories (sugars and other non-fiber carbohydrates) you can lose weight.
Now if you are eating 1500 extra calories a day then your body burns, then switching diets is not the only answer, but for most people this isn't the case.

The corollary of this is that if you're running a sufficient enough deficit, it doesn't matter how "bad" the calories are, thermodynamics plays the dominant role: http://calorielab.com/news/2010/11/20/twinkie-diet-results/ http://calorielab.com/news/2010/11/20/twinkie-diet-results/ But in reality there's a lot more to "health" than just weight, so take it with a grain of salt.
