good stuff, glad your plan is working out for you, I've tried restricting carbs and training in the past and while it does have a positive effect I always end up getting a huge unquenchable hunger drive that undoes all the progress.
my eating and weight loss is a fair bit more steady; I've lost about 1.5kg in the last 4 weeks, but I'm making good progress on a diet of roughly 60% carbs, 20% fat and 20% protein, with as much as possible coming from whole grains and vegetables.
The result is that I'm managing to eat three big meals a day which is keeping me happy plus a few snacks here and there which are generally carby, and quick energy like bananas or energy gels shortly before a hard workout.
I can't see the diet taking off commercially though as aside from the slow progress it also requires a lot of exercise!

I just had 4 bottles delivered from ocado today for about £1.70 a bottle (500ml), I too had it post berlin half this year and for alcohol free it really is nice.
on my current nutrition plan i'm on a strict carb limit so i've not drank for a month but i figure I can afford to splurge on a bottle of this once a week after a hard session much like the post race thing you described.
will be by far the highest sugar content of anything i've eaten in a month though, averaging about 10g a day and most of that is incidental from stuff like salad. all my carbs have been high fibre stuff instead.
have lost over a stone since i started doing it though, just a shame I gained 2 stone over summer so am only halfway back to my starting point still.
