I recommend you eat in a way that you can sustain for the rest of your life. In other words, if you can't see yourself giving up carbs to the extent that a low carb diet contains, then don't do a low carb diet. Unless you plan on dropping the diet after a very short time period, don't force yourself into an unsustainable way of eating. You CAN lose weight on a moderate-higher carb diet. While it is not quite as simple as eat less than maintenance to lose weight, as long as you eat healthy, whole foods and reduce your intake while exercising - you will change your body composition.
