Completely anecdotal, but my personal experiences seem to go along with this theory. I've used deprivation diets and found it very hard to have continous weight loss. Then I read somewhere that every once in a while, you should shock your body with some high calories to keep your metabolism up and so I started doing that and it worked.
I suppose maybe it was just giving me extra energy and so I worked out harder. Whatever the reason, it worked for me.
