Vegetarian diet vs Low-Carb diet – Which is Better?

Hi, I’m 5’3 and at 130 pounds. I have put on 20 pounds in the last 3 months because I wasn’t careful with what I eat. Now, I would like to lose the extra weight. I have 2 friends who managed to lose quite abit of weight each. One practices a Vegetarian diet where she only consumes fruits, vegetables and maybe some tofu, soyamilk and bread etc. On the other hand, a 2nd friend is on a very low/no carb diet eating mainly lean proteins, occasionally indulging in red meats. I am quite confused as both diets are the exact opposites of each other. The low-carb diet does not advocate high carbs, but my vegetarian friend is losing weight from consuming nothing but carbs. Why is that so?
On the other hand, my low-carb friend is losing weight too (like some people on this forums on SB and Kimkins). So, which is the better and healthier diet I should follow?
Also, how long is a good timeline for me to determine whether a diet is working for me? How long into a diet to see weight loss?

Vegetarian is more healthy..low carb is dangerous over time. Just be sure that you eat plenty of beans, tofu and other protein sources and you will be fine. Weigh yourself before you start..and then once a week after that. How quick depends on many things, including exercise and metabolism…Give it a couple of weeks to see anything.
