This is pseudoscience. As long as you consume a certain amount of calories and get your daily nutritions, you can eat whatever you want without getting obese. You can still become obese eating 3000 kcals of salad every day without exercising. Of course, healthy caloric intake will only ensure you don't become obese, you'll still be consuming way more fat/carbs than you should if you eat McDonalds, but it is certainly possible to create a "healthy" everyday-McDonalds diet (but you would be changing the meal to the point it won't be recognizable)

Calorie is not a calorie.

We now know, for example, that fibre is very good for our microbiome. Exclude it from your diet and you'll suffer.

So it is possible or not? Why the quotes?

I'd like to see you try (just salad as you wrote, no oils and animal based products, please).

Not sure if you're being purposefully ignorant or not so I'm not going to engage this discussion, but for anyone reading, this should be basic dietary knowledge
