Also you need to eat vitamins - they will help organism to convert fat into energy when necessary and you will be less hungry in average.

It's not even a case of less calories. Let's say you need 2000 calories a day. You could eat that in two larger meals with lots of fat and refined carbs, or you could eat in in six smaller meals with protein and complex carbs. Diet 2 is massively better for you.

> Also you need to eat vitamins

While on diet, you need more vitamins than usual.

Fruits and vegetables has calories too. Look at tables: http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/calories.html

1 apple is about 200g (five apples per 1kg), thus it is equivalent to 2 tablespoons of sugar.
