I've successfully lost weight and improved blood panels doing low carb in the past so I'm giving it another shot.
I'm actually doing something called the ketogenic ("keto") diet, where you restrict carbs to fewer than 50g per day (ideally fewer than 30g) and put your body in a state of ketosis, where instead of using stored glucose (in the form of glycogen stored mostly in the liver) the body uses fatty acids (stored in fat cells in adipose tissue) for fuel. Sounds complicated, but not really. It's a high-fat, high-protein diet so you can eat lots of butter, bacon, meats, etc.
I've seen a lot of success stories and compared with my experiences in the past, which have included everything from SlimFast to lowfat to vegetarian and lots of others, low carb works best for me.
If you're low-carbing, let's share stories and recipes!
