Yes, everything is made up of calories whether it is bad food or not. Protein, Fat and Carbohydrates. But there are different types of fats, and different types of carbohydrates. Fast food / junkfood in particular are filled with the bad types of fats (saturated) and simple carbohydrates (the bad type) - eating a lot of both will lead to poor health and is proven to be the underlying cause to many disorders / diseases / cancers.
Sure, simply eating less of bad food will result in weight loss, but you will still be unhealthy if fast food is an integral part of your daily diet. Eating healthier foods will make you feel better, and really help you lose fat a lot easier.

that might be true. however most people who need to go on a diet in the first place, aren't ready to deal with the drastic long term change to their diet that comes with stoping to eat junk food and drinking and switching to healthy food. "theoretically" you're absolutely right that having proper food is healthier. However, it's much more practical to just eat less of the same food initially, and to loose the extra 15 pounds that your heart has to deal with by not doing anything, or by trying another "healthy" diet and failing only to get back to before. also, you are what you eat, yes, however, if you don't exercise do cardio and work out, you can have the best food in the world and still be unhealthy from fat and obesity.
