If you are 7-8% bf then i cant imagine you have much bodyfat to lose at all. Cycling is the best way to go i feel and have found. This helps with insulin sensitivity big time and also works great with energy levels and is a very easy way to diet.
Remember something a lot of the results you make depends on the situation you are in, how much have you been eating lately? Are you starting a blast or on a cruise? Are you adding cardio, extra days of weights etc..
Also personally for me, if you are not competing where you need every single advantage you can get.....I would not follow something I dislike, if you do not like low carb dieting then just try carb cycling or playing around with your macro / workouts / cardio so you can eat more carbs. It really is not worth following something you don't enjoy, this is meant to be a lifestyle that you can enjoy not something you have to motivate yourself to do because you hate it.
I know chaps who use intermittent fasting to get very lean, low carb diets to get very lean, high carb diets to get very lean, if it fit yours macros to get lean.....there are many ways to get lean, get in contest shape though is a different thing all together and that is pretty much when its time to hire a coach so you don't need to worry.
