That's not say you should ONLY eat one or the other, but trying to keep meals to a majority of one type can often help some people.
Yep, this is how I "dieted" and lost two stone, eating mainly carbohydrates. After the diet, my stomach was smaller so now I eat pretty much what I want and don't put the weight back on. It's great =D

And PS. I didn't do exercise and still don't because I'm a panda and I don't do exercise.
