hi-
I don't count calories, but I have noticed that I eat less now than I did when I first started LC.

I think this is a YMMV issue.

There is a poster over in the CAD/CALP threads names Patricia who has lost 200 lbs- a combination of LC and calorie counting. She has said that the addition of calorie reduction/portion control made a difference for her for the second 100 lbs.
