What scientific evidence? Let me guess, some blog post from a company that sells said diet? Give me a break.
Starving your body does indeed make you lose weight, that's true. It's just not a healthy way to do it. Nor is it long term. Your body will more than compensate for it as it regains all the weight you lost as soon as you eat like a regular person.
No, I'm talking about actual scientific evidence published in peer reviewed scientific journals. There are mountains of it available.
Being in a caloric deficit is not starving yourself, it just means that over a period of time, usually a full day, you spent more energy than you consumed, and the difference is taken out of your energy storage, which is mostly adipose tissue. This is how fat loss happens.
