You don't get near the effect on your hormonal system, namely leptin, you need.

yehah I thought so, but surely it would still spike calories for the day thus increasing metabolism for the day?

Yes it'll “spike” calories, but again certain macros affect hormones, so it wouldn't be a point in forcing yourself to eat just fats and protein. If you're doing it because you're really hungry, then I don't see a problem, but to do it for a metabolism standpoint, just eat the carbs too.
