Does not eating enough calories sabotage your effort to lose weight?

Yes it does. Low calorie intake reduces your motivation to do exercise, and over an extended period causes the body to release fat more slowly (starvation defense mechanism), reducing the fat-loss effectiveness of exercise. Note the difference between weight loss and fat loss - the techniques to tackle the two are not entirely the same.
