<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I have been in and out of the gym and didn't bother to diet as I was trying for gains for the longest time. I have been experimenting with different diets in their effectiveness and haven't found much results. I tried a low carb diet at 100g max a day and managed to maintain my weight. After that I tried a 50g max a day and managed to shed a few pounds but hit a plateau. I'm a little leery of keto due to the body needing carbs to function. I haven't tried to lower calories yet and have seen a lot of success from it. I was wondering if anyone here had any insight as to if carbs or calories has some benefit to count? I've read things citing success from detox diets and conflicting articles that they aren't necessary and can even be more dangerous. I have been lifting weights for years and have included no cardio into my routine. I've read many sources citing cardio to be much better for weight loss and that lifting provides little to no weight loss. What insight do you have on this /r/loseit ?
<bot>: Is it better to count carbs or calories? Does weightlifting cause any significant weight loss or is it mostly cardio? What are your thoughts on detox diets?
