Short term is what counts when you are trying to avoid snacking. Low carb for some people is what allows them to restrict their calories because they don't feel ravenously hungry.

If you’re fine yo yo dieting where you gain and lose lots of weight then sure use whatever you are comfortable with.
Just don’t be surprised when it takes the same effort over time to avoid gaining weight again. Because it might take slightly longer to kick in, but the same hunger will be back.
That’s a short term effect. Low carb diets are no more effective long term (3+ years) than calorie restriction.
Most people who lose significant percentage of body weight eventually start dreaming/fantasizing about food etc. It’s possible to push through this and maintain weight loss, but it’s relatively rare.
