Is weight loss more effective with a reduced calorie diet or a low fat diet?

Ummmm both. Weight loss is a basic calculation of more calories being used up than you are taking in. However, that doesn't mean that you expending 3000 calories a day, and eating 2500 of "low fat" ice cream(extreme example here folks)is going to promote weight loss.

Reducing your calories, watching your fats in relation to your protien and carbs, proper hydration and exersize is pretty much the basics for losing the lbs.
