I don't think that's a logical conclusion. Rather, I think it's more likley that the nutritionist doesn't think that there's any difference (from a weight loss perspective) between 250 calories from a "burger and fries" and 250 calories from a regular soda. (And the burger and fries probably has more calories than the soda)

I would highly recommend switching from soda with 28 to 40 grams of sugar per 8 ounce glass to sugar free soda. It has been proven to aid in weight loss to those people who are addicted to sugar sodas.
Sure. Switching from 6 cans of soda a day @ 150 calories per can to 6 cans of diet soda @ zero calories will save 900 calories a day or about 90 pounds in a year (all else being equal).
