Most low carb diets acknowledge that calories still matter. Their position is that on a low carb diet you are satisfied easier and stay satisfied longer, since the reduction in carbs keeps your blood sugar stable.
I have followed a lower carb regimen (sometimes unfaithfully) for about 3 years. I've lost 60 lbs and my lipid profile is excellent, with the exception of HDL, which I have to raise. The only way (sans drugs) I can do that is to eat more fat. (olive oil, nuts, etc).
