Hi,
You will need Los carb diet and for that out of your daily requirements of 1500 calories per day, only less than one third should come from carbohydrates so that other parts of diet should burn to meet daily energy requirements and may help with weight loss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
