You also don't become 100lb overweight because you eat your first meal at 12pm instead of 8am. That's what that comment was saying; the only obvious advice is eat less and exercise more, and it works 100% of the time for all bodies.
Also important is eating your food in a manner (e.g., smaller portions more frequently) that you don't ever get really hungry. Extreme hunger leads to binge eating which can easily undo any calory deficit you managed that day.
