They both work in the same way. The reason why low carb diets work is because they cut calories. If they didn't then you wouldn't lose any weight. Instead of eliminating carbs, cut calories of all kinds. Focus on getting rid of sugar and saturated fats.
Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the daily calorie needs calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

I don't go overboard on my calories or what I eat overall. I also eat brown rice, whole wheat breads and cereals, fruits and veggies. From what I understand, my lifestyle is completely opposite of the low carb diet. I don't exercise, regrettably, however, I have lost about seventeen pounds in the past three months since my daughter has been born. Next week or the week after, I'm going to take advantage of my free week at Curves, if the offer is still good. After that, my husband and I and our daughter are going to start going to the gym. The college with which his grad school is affiliated offers free membership to students and their families if the family member is with them. Otherwise, membership is less than $10. Since we're cheap, we're going to go together and take our daughter with us in a baby sling carrier.
Unless one just lives on meat, I don't know how one can have a carb free diet.
