I'll take your word that it might make a difference over a short period of a few days, but if you eat 1,800 calories of meat per day vs 1,800 calories of cotton candy per day, over the long run the results will be the same.
The latter is a whole lot worse for you from a health perspective obviously, but strictly talking weight loss it's all just calories.
Try eating 1,800 calories a day of cellulose and see what happens.

Breaking down proteins requires more energy than sugar. There's overhead. So... no. 1800 calories of meat vs 1800 calories of cotton candy will not yield the same results. The first part of "Calories-in, calories-out" isn't based on the value of the food when it enters your mouth. It's based on the energy actually being input into the system.
You aren't taking into consideration the glycogen depletion effect keto has on your body.
What you eat reallly does effect how you both lose the weight and keep it off. It will make a difference how your body looks after losing weight one way over the other.
