The problem is that that is really bad advice. If you eat less than you need you will slow your metabolism, decrease muscle mass that burns calories, and eventually you will fail.
Lift stuff, run, eat healthy.
Eating less than you need is the only way to lose weight. If you can do that and exercise then great. Some people cannot as we tend to overestimate calories burned and underestimating post-workout caloric intake. Working out stimulates our brain to tell us to eat. That's one reason why many people who think they are doing all the right things wonder why the weight isn't coming off.

I supported my wife when she lost 75 pounds on weight watchers (I lost 45, which I have subsequently found again), and I am a born skeptic, so I tested their theory that if you follow the plan you will lose weight. For 2 weeks straight I ate nothing but ice cream bars (I prefer Haagen-Dazs chocolate-dark chocolate), and kept to my points total. I ate not one single vegetable, nor anything other than ice cream bars. I did take a vitamin and I had a glass of metamucil at night since I found that the ice cream bars set off my IBS pretty fiercely after a day or 2. The results? I lost 6 pounds the first week and 4 the second. I didn't exercise at all, I just stayed within my allowed points on their points plan. Calories consumed - calories used = weight loss. Doesn't necessarily = great health but weight loss for sure.
