Basically he says that if that's the only way you can lose weight, and that's your top priority, fine.
But don't mistake it for a performance enhancement technique. We've heard before about the performance enhancement technique Chris recommends: "Ride lots," which enhances fat oxidation just fine without sacrificing performance on that altar.
Did you read the fine details? If that's truly what he said then he just still has a lot to learn. Although I suspect its more a matter of interpretation and/or context than anything else. In any event, IF is just a tool. How its used depends largely on your goal.
