Which option is better for me?

My friend is having a pool party in about 10 days, maybe 2 weeks. I don't care if it's just water weight, I just want to look a bit thinner... I'm not expecting a drastic change either. I'm wearing a one piece (I have no bikinis) So I will mostly be fine... but it wouldn't hurt to look a bit better. This is getting a bit long, so I'll get to the point: Which option will help me lose more? High carb and low fat, or low carb and high fat? If you know anything else that is HEALTHY that will help me lose a bit more I would appreciate it.

    High protein, low carb, low fat and lots of water.

    Maybe cut out artificial sweeteners a couple of days before the party, and watch sodium to get rid of all bloat

    How low. Should your fat intake be?

    You are 18. You are 3 lbs from your goal weight based on your profile. And I suspect the goal is already low, because I have been a teenager too a long time ago ;)
    Forget losing weight, forget extreme diets to get whatever results you think you should get in a few days, go buy a bikini and have fun. Half the game, it is confidence. Look at yourself in the mirror and keep repeating "I look great".

    Low carb is your best bet for quick water weight loss. Fill in the gaps with protein and fat.

    Don't increase exercise during this time or your body could store water for repair. Just eat normally except for less carbs and drink a lot of water.

    I would more likely do a tab bit less exercise during this time if trying to get rid of water weight.

    Actually I'm about twelve pounds from my goal weight... I just change it whenever I complete my little 'on the way there' goals.
    But I get your point.
