The analysis

The retrieved papers provide direct experimental evidence that implementing caloric restriction leads to significant weight and fat loss without necessitating structured exercise programs. Papers 3, 7, and 11 all evaluate energy or caloric restriction alone and confirm significant reductions in body mass and fat mass. Therefore, the claim is supported by the provided evidence.
