High Carb VS. High Protein Diet

Genetics play a big part in this role because some people need more carbs then protein in their diet to lose weight and others the opposite. Most hospitals can do it, even though its not free, if its something your serious about then i would take a look into it. Or you can just do the trial and error. Try one for a week and see what results you get, then try the other the next and see which one is better. Personally i need more protein to keep my mass because i have bigger muscles, i want to shed fat and still gain muscle so i still want to consume carbs, just at the right times. Example, i drink a creatine drink 30 mins before i lift weights because that has high carbs in it for to give me a good workout, pumping iron burns fat in the process while using some of those carbs as fuel, after wards i take a creatine drink and whey protein so that way i take in more protein because protein after any kind of exercise helps the body burn more fat period! Protein is burned better through the body, helps maintain appetite control, and helps lead to a better physique over time. Also taking 1g of protein per lb of body weight is suggested if you wish to obtain/gain muscle while loosing weight. Best times to eat carbs are earlier in the day so they get burned up as fuel, but some people's needs may be to eat more carbs then protein just because of genetics. People who need more carbs are usually more lean already trying to bulk up so they need more carbs to be burned off as energy rather then protein burned off to gain muscle mass. So in conclusion you need to figure out which diet is better for you. Regardless, you still need to consume at least some protein and/or carbs in your diet. 

The BEST type of diet is the Mediterranean diet, which is high in lean meats like turkey, fresh fish, tons of green vegetables, olive oil, pasta, wine, nuts, and fruits. People who follow this diet have lower body fat, leaner muscle, live longer lives, and are more healthy over all. This last diet was just an FYI, if your interested ask me more.
