I lost 60 lbs in 6 months eating 1200 calories and about 150-200 grams of protein, so like 2/3rds protein

If you are talking about the "carnivor diet", then yeah. I have tried it for a month and I lost weight fast.
The problem is that you have to be VERY careful what you consume (no carbs, sugar, dairy products ect) since if you slip with some suggers or any sort of carbs, you might start to get health problems.

hehhh??? your body can use carbs, fats or proteins as fuel. carbs are most energy dense, and protein is hardest to convert to energy. so you have to eat a much higher volume of beef to get the same caloric intake as bread or something, and even then your body isn't used to processing that. the transition between your previous diet and your new diet, whatever it may be, has a possibility to induce serious fatigue as your body adjusts to digesting and metabolizing different energy sources. (I personally think some of this has to do with gut bacteria levels readjusting to suit the new internal environment.) keto would have the same effect for the same reasons but not as pronounced and starting sooner since bodies burn carbs first then fats then proteins last. calories in calories out is true, and works in a sterile lab setting, but practically, these diets work for a reason. it's just harder to get more calories in on these diets.
