It may be that simple for you and your body. You may have indeed found the ratio that works for you. However, it does not mean that you have cracked the code for macronutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates) for every person. People need to eat in accordance with what his/her body needs.
The one size fits all diet DOES NOT WORK for everyone. Each person is different metabolically. Dietary solutions should be tailored to the individual. What works for one person may have no effect on another person, and may even make another person worse. Research metabolic typing or read the following book to find out what type you are - Protein Type, Carbo Type, or Mixed type.

The diet mentioned by BayAreaE92 nearly matches that for a Protein Type. His success does not guarantee you will also have success. If you happen to be a protein type as well, you're in luck; this ideology would work. If you are a mixed type or carbo type, you will likely not have results with this diet as the ratios of macronutrients would not be conducive to your metabolism.
