And while you will see success for a time, the scientific literature I referenced points out some significant long term studies that show calorie counting only leads to temporary success in weight loss. In every study, the original weight was gained back in 2-4 years because underlying eating choices never really changed. So, yes, if you are looking for short term success, sure, cut calories, but doing it that way will never lead to long term loss unless you change the quality of food you eat.
