Blowing it with a 10,000 calorie Saturday isn't a certainty. In fact, I'd think if you were disciplined enough for low-carbing 6 days out of the week, you're disciplined enough not to go hog wild on your "cheat day." That's not to say you won't have a donut on that day, or that some people have trouble controlling themselves.
While calories in/calories out approach to fat loss works, it's not for me. First, I hate to count calories. Second, it largely ignores the hormonal response to carbs and the benefits of carb timing.
I think any of our resident diet gurus would agree that when dropping calories, carbs should be the first things to go, except maybe around your workout.
