Did 3 weeks of experimenting with carb timing. I still ate plenty of calories, just avoided carbs in the daytime and only had them between training and bedtime.
I dropped from 77.5kg to 72.5kg - loss of 5kg. A Dexa scan verfied that this was ALL fat loss. I actually managed a tiny muscle increase.
The strange thing is, I could not visually see a change at all. I took before and after pictures and to my eyes I looked exactly the same. I ran a few times during the period, and in a submaximal cycle based fitness test I made an improvement.
The process was horrible though, I hated going without carbs all day.
