Also, because you need to be consistent, it has to be sustainable. Has to be something you won't hate to do. Biggest reason why people on diets fail.
That and fighting millions of years of evolutionary instinct screaming at you to eat everything you can when you start reducing calories in case you won't eat again for a few days.
It's only been MAYBE ~150 years that all classes of society had ready access to food.
I guess that's an exta benefit of having to raise protein intake on a calorie deficit. High quality protein is very satiating.
Also helps that if you're eating protein from a whole foods perspective, an 8oz chicken breast is a lot of food for only ~380 calories. Same goes for all lean proteins and even the fatty kind. You can fit a whole lot more in for equal calories going at whole foods than eating a 1200 calorie muffin.
