To effectively diet you have to reduce the amount you eat. You can do this through calorie restriction, time restriction, or food restriction. Low carb diets are a form of food restriction that are particularly effective because dropping carbs also drops hunger levels so it is easier to sustain the restriction.

It depends on the meaning of amount. By volume no, you can continue to eat like always if you adjust the food itself.

Technically yes, it is a food restriction, but in the end it is especially a calorie restriction which is the important part.

You are absolutely correct though.
