I think it's not even about calorie restriction in general, as far as I'm aware that does seem to work, at least to some extent, or at least for some people, just like, for example, intermittent fasting can be very effective - even for healing purposes - but doesn't seem to be for everyone. The issue in question with Nun Amen-Ra is that the amount of restricted calories he's suggesting is dangerously low - at least for other people. I don't know anything about how, or even if at all, he does it himself. Just below a certain point, calorie restriction is obviously dangerous.
