OP, you're going to get a lot of thoughts on low carb vs. carbs. It doesn't matter which you do, just stick to one diet and execute it. Weigh yourself weekly and shoot for 1-2lb weight loss. If you have a successful week where you lose 1-2 lbs...then you're on your way....repeat what you did that week. If you don't, adjust or figure out why. Did you cheat? What did I eat? Where can I reduce calories? Did I do enough cardio? You see where I'm going.
Quick story. I am a low carb guy. I did low carb about a year ago and lost nothing after 6 weeks. I was doing 5 on and 2 carb load days...which were filled with eating shitty foods. I started low carb again in January. I'm down 20lbs so far. What I did was everything I have suggested and others in here. I didn't do a refuel day for a month. I planned a cheat day for the Super Bowl. One day...then right back to business. I upped my cardio to 6 or 7 days a week. Alternated between HIT, moderate intensity and LISS. I have a food scale and weigh all my food. I eat a lot of greens. And after a few months, I listen to my body. Normally, sweets don't entice me...when they do, its my body saying refuel. I do it and then right back to disciplined eating.
