This is very simple, no matter what anyone ever claims. Use more energy than you eat and you will lose weight. It is as simple as that. If you consume less calories than what you burn living you lose fat. There are formulas to figure out very close to what you are currently using.
If you are currently out of shape, then you have a whole lifestyle change to make as well. If that is the case, then time is not a factor, since you will have to maintain this lifestyle change for the rest of your life. You are either active or not, if you get the picture. If this is a lifestyle thing, then absolutely you can walk and slowly lose weight. If you are in a rush and want to lose at a fast rate, then you can certainly run kms daily! Add in the weight lifting you will spend the majority of your workout doing then you must include protein.
Don't look at this as a month or two, this should be your long term lifetime plan.
If you only eat protein and no carbs then you are entering the Atkin diet realm and I think there has been heart issues associated with that.
