"In many popular diet books, especially low carb programs, 'Calories don't count' is a frequently repeated theme and 'you can eat as much as you like' is an often repeated promise. Other programs stress the importance of energy in versus energy out, but recommend that you count 'portions' rather than calories. Still others say that you must keep a strict accounting of everything you eat. Who is right?
Well, trying to count every single calorie - in the literal sense - is probably not realistic or necessary as a lifestyle for the long term (all the number crunching can drive you crazy, for one thing!)
However, that doesn't mean that calories don't count. Any diet program that says you can 'eat all you want and still lose weight' is one you should avoid because that is one of the biggest lies in the business."
