Counting calories and portioning food is tough for many dieters. Now a new study suggests you might be as successful at weight loss by changing the types of foods you eat without counting calories.

"Our results showed that a modified carbohydrate diet is a successful and alternate way to lose weight without counting calories," said lead researcher Kevin Maki, Ph.D., who presented his findings today at the North American Association for the Study of Obesity conference.

This study, funded by Kraft Foods was conducted by Dr. Maki and his colleagues at Radiant Research -- a research company that specializes in conducting clinical trials.
