Higher protein diets (low carbohydrate diets) are a good way to lose body fat, but often are higher in fat.  Fat is often high in calories, but you can chose healthier fats.  So if you would consider a high protein diet, you would almost have to forget about a caloric intake.

You just need a balanced diet like the old days with lots of vegetables, lean protein and fruit.  Eat little sugar.  Substitute water for all those high-sugar drinks everybody downs in huge quantities.  Be aware beer and liquor has calories.  You can't just opt out from a healthy diet and eat a single food source like a protein bar or something.  Balance, variety, lots of color, home-cooked, not processed and packaged.
