In the short term, low carb diets have people lose more weight.
But that happens whenever they get people to eliminate one of the macronutrients (low fat, low carbs, low protein, whatever) as THEY EAT LESS CALORIES to begin with, and there is the water weight loss with low carbs as 1 g glycogen holds 3-4 g of water.
In the long term, no difference.
It is also easier to eat a diet that has all three macronutrients in it.
It is all about the calories, there is no magic macronutrient ratios.
Again, if you are a fat fc-uker who has been eating crappy fried foods, processed fats and simple carbs, you have probably got a bit of insulin insensitivity, so a low carb diet with good fats would probably be beneficial, but other than that, it is all just about the calories.
