I didn't say that counting calories won't work, I just said that it's not an optimal solution. There are ranges of protein, fat, carbs that is possible to lose

  The linked study didn't find any significant difference in weight loss between diets with a radically different macronutrient composition: > By 2 years, weight loss remained similar in those who were assigned to a > diet with 15% protein and those assigned to a diet with 25% protein (3.0 > and 3.6 kg, respectively); in those assigned to a diet with 20% fat and > those assigned to a diet with 40% fat (3.3 kg for both groups); and in > those assigned to a diet with 65% carbohydrates and those assigned to a > diet with 35% carbohydrates (2.9 and 3.4 kg, respectively) (P>0.20 for all > comparisons) [...] > The principal finding is that the diets were equally successful in promoting > clinically meaningful weight loss and the maintenance of weight loss over the > course of 2 years. Satiety, hunger, satisfaction with the diet, and attendance > at group sessions were similar for all diets.

    There are people who respond well to high carbohydrate diets, and people who respond well to low carbohydrate diets. Any study that just separates the participants into two different groups is just going to see that individual variability in response as "noise" in the final analysis. The only studies you can trust on macronutrient response include a crossover period.
