You choose.

This isn't the same for everybody.

I can do low-fat. Nobody would want to be in the same room with me if
I did low carb. You think low fat is bitchy, then you haven't seen me
with no sugar.

I know that low carb works for a lot of people, but I would be doomed
to cheat every day because there is no way I can change my diet that
much and actually stay on it.

If I am short on sleep, then my coworkers will appreciate me eating
some chocolate, ir not to get me moving a bit faster, than as an
attitude adjustment. If that means I need to lower my calories
elsewhere to take care of that, then so be it.

As it is, I don't eat many fruits or veggies, and the ones I like are
the ones that have more carbs. I am geared for sweet, and I avoid most
things that aren't.

It is wonderful that we have more than one "diet" or WOE to choose
from since not everybody will be able to do well on the same one.

I'm not going to berate somebody for doing a diet I don't care for. My
best friend at work was doing the Atkins and lost quite a bit. I
encouraged her on her diet as she encouraged me on mine. Totally
different diets, and both of us losing weight.

I will second what Meghan said. I've lost 97 lbs. (pretty close to
where I want to be now) on a relatively low-fat diet (not extremely so
-- I average roughly 25% fat, 35% carbs, 40% protein). I'm not
particularly into sweets as Meghan is; I just want to be able to eat
all kinds of foods, as I plan to eat this way for life.

I'm happy, energetic, not hungry, not bitchy. Do what works for you.
