I've read your article and in my opinion this could be a good start for someone who overeats regularly, so psychologically it wouldn't represent such a drastic change in terms of cutting out all your favourite foods.
Ifsomeone eats only hamburgers (okay, I'm exaggerating) or junk food, cutting their food intake by 50% could be a good start, but then they should move on to other changes as well. If you want to adopt a healthy lifestyle and not 'only' lose weight quickly
From what I know it's not only about how much calories you take but what kind of food these calories come from.
You lose weight if you burn more calories (consume less food), muscles burn calories, so I think exercise would benefit you here as well. And you should have 5 or 6 smaller meals to speed up your metabolism.
But I guess your strategy depends on what your goal is.
