What's better - low carb or low fat?

[Paplo]

Will you lose more weight following a low-carb or a low-fat diet? Is one healthier for you more than the other?

I'd definitely say low carb is better but only if you don't do it in an extreme way and if you think you can keep it up over time. It's really the one that you can maintain that is best overall.

Low fat makes it easier to cut calories but low carb actually makes you lose weight faster.
