When you cut out most carbs, you will automatically eat fewer calories. You won’t starve. I’d ignore the calories at first and eat all the fat you want — enjoy the eggs, cheese, mayo, and other foods we’ve been taught to avoid. After a few weeks you can start paying attention to calories. Trying to do both at once was impossible for me. Also, keep a strict food journal. I was surprised at the carbs in foods I thought were relatively carb free. Don’t cheat on the carbs — I did at first and didn’t lose any weight.
