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.
Based on a) Chris being the first american TdF rider to DNF, or b) settling multiple lawsuits for his assisting in doping regimes, or c) his charging athletes $15K to fatten on carbs and burn them off with extreme hill climbing routines? Sorry, I could not resist the cheap shot - not a Carmichael fan, though I will easily admit he knows a million times what i do about training. I think he's retro-active & radioactive.
