For 90 percent of the people, that’s where you start. If you’ve cut your calorie intake by a sufficient amount and are exercising reasonably and not making progress, then you gotta look at what works for you.

But the cutting of calories is the starting point.

I eat all I want on a low-GI diet, well over 1800 calories a day. Now that I'm nursing I'm eating close to 3000 calories a day and still losing weight. The weight melted off naturally with my son, but with my daughter it is not without diet alteration. Now that I've started weight training again I've seen an additional weight loss. I have PCOS and my docs simply want to put me back on the pill; however, that only masks the symptoms and does nothing to cure the problem. Plus the pill makes me feel like crap. I had another doc tell me if the pill wasn't about sex then it never would have been FDA approved. Frightening! I've learned to control the symptoms with the low-GI diet, which is something I discovered on my own. The docs claim that diet has nothing to do with it but my test results say otherwise.
