Correct!

To be fair, this answer could be either true or false. A low-carb diet can help you lose weight if you're burning more calories than you're eating. You can accomplish that with just about any diet but, if a diet is too restrictive or complicated, it's likely you'll end up quitting and gaining back the weight you've lost.
