thats not exactly how this works.
there is 'easy' fat and 'hard' fat. dropping 10% of ones body mass coming out of a prolonged state of physical inaction is trivial. but once those 'easy' pounds melt off, the remainder is much, much harder to work off.
this is primarily why calorie depletion diets eventually require physical exercise to maintain any sort of inertia, and why the entire weight loss industry has pivoted to a lifestyle-centric message.
another reason is ones body/mind will eventually 'strike back' against calorie starvation by essentially holding serotonin hostage for pizza etc but thats beyond the scope of this comment really.
i expect you know this and were just keeping it dumbed down but it deserves to be pointed out.
