Some people will but others will not. For many people, 40 grams of carbohydrate per day will prove too much for weight loss. It depends how insulin resistant you are or not. Many overweight people have a degree of insulin resistance (with or without being aware of it). Moreover, all people who suffer from obesity are significantly insulin resistant (with or without being aware of it).

Lose weight cutting carbsIf you gain weight easily and find it difficult to lose weight, then you may have a degree (from mild to major) of insulin resistance (many people are insulin resistant without being aware of it). In which case, you will do better counting carbohydrates rather than calories.

In addition, if you have a history of 'dieting' and losing weight and then regaining weight, you will do better counting carbs rather than calories.

In particular, refined (processed) carbohydrates are a major cause of weight gain and obesity. To learn how to use low carbohydrate foods, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Not if you eat more fat. All food has calories, all excess calories are converted into fat.

Lose the Carbs and Lose the Weight?

Low carb diets are exactly what they sound like. Cut the carbs to the minimum and lose the weight. Foods high in carbs are frequently high in sugar, so that is one way that these low carb diets work. The other part of the equation is what your body does with carbs once they get into your system, which is to turn them into sugar again, not good. The great thing about low carb diets is they don't necessarily restrict your total calorie intake, just the carbs. Eat all the lean protein you want and stay full while you diet.

What is an efficient way to lose weight?

Stop eating! No, no just kidding. That is the worst way to lose weight. I would have to say being on a healthy diet. One consisting of carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Try to stay away from fatty foods and grease as much as you can. Not too much carbs! Stay away from all that sugar! Another big key is exercise. Try to start slow and do it daily. I can almost guarantee that if you eat healthy and exercise daily that you can lose weight.
