If by "traditional dieting" you mean "eat fewer calories than you burn," then do that.
The advice in the Sexypants post worked for me: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-Sexypants0 -
I would suggest both! Traditional dieting with low carb intake. Multiply 0.5 x weight in pounds and consume this amount of carbs in grams per day.0
