Calorie counting works and I wish my girlfriend understood that

The simple truth

To lose weight you must consume less calories then you consume. That simple, if you want to lose more weight faster you eat less. A calorie from a coke is the same as a calorie from a steak.

I am down 20 lbs so far on calorie counting, my girlfriend said she's going start her "no crab diet" which is kinda annoying cause all we have in the house is a lot of carbs but it what it is. I encourage her to calorie count. She says "No thats not how you lose weight, you lose weight by doing no carbs" and I'm like 'OK"

We eat dinner, I finish the day consuming just 1,890 calories when my goal was to stay under 2,300 (score!) I eat my dinner a bit later so I don't get hungry.

My girlfriend eats a smaller dinner, and then ends up consuming a bag of chips and wonders why she hasn't lost weight. I looked at the bag, 700 calories...just a bit under what my dinner was but its all crap calories and isn't filling.

I also I find it tiring to say "I can't eat carbs" or "I can only eat lean meats" or whatever. I find it much easier to go "Anything you want stay below X"
