Cutting calories is the only way to lose weight. Cutting carbs typically means people end up eating less calories, because protein is more satiating.

"Eating the same diet, just a lot less carbs"

If you're eating less carbs, that's 4 calories less for every grab of carbs you've cut out. If previously you were eating around 200g of carbs everyday (probably on the low end, honestly) you've now removed around 800 calories from your diet.

You're still cutting calories.
