How on earth are you not going to eat carbs after 3pm, are you not going to eat after this time, or for your evening meal are you just going to eat meat.
Veg are carbs as well, and are pretty important in a balanced diet, don't be fooled by the no carbs in the evening myth, virtually all food contains carbs.
I lost 6 stone, by eating a healthy diet and exercising, and didn't do anything special to do this, with the exception of not eating that much processed food.

I lost 6 stone, the unhealthy way. In 3 months!! By not eating carbs at all. But have kept it off for 2 years and am now back on the diet again to shed another stone or two over the next few months!

So no veg, fruit or anything that contains decent nutrition, it must have meant you eat nothing but fresh meat, even stuff like sausages contain carbs. I believe you can go for a low carb diet, but a carb free diet I would suggest is near on impossible.
I would suggest not eating a balanced diet would harm your cycling more than losing a bit of weight. I want to lose another stone in weight, but will do it all over the winter in a healthy way, as I think this is the best for performance and best for your general health.

Yes, you're right, mate... I just glossed over it, but I meant I will eat no significant carbs after 3pm.
Meat with veg for dinner.
I love protein shakes, too, and nuts....
I actually think that I coukld carry on as per normal, if I stay away from the double sweets, with custard  Bad sweet tooth.
I wont eat them ever again...

I remember watching a Horizon programme on the then fashionable Atkins low carb diet. They debunked all the theories about it magically altering metabolism etc; it appeared to work because eliminating carbohydrates meant eating more protein, which in turn makes you feel full quicker and for longer, and so overall you're consuming fewer calories.
I always go back to Fisher Price maths:- calories in < calories expended = weight loss.
Simples!

That's the way i've always worked Keef.... Just by counting calories as described up the thread I lost 7kg over last winter (put it on after taking a year off after 10 years of training and racing! All too easy!).
Anyway, a week of getting the rides in, getting to the gym and counting them again and we're back down to 75.4 this morning. So exactly where i started on the 1st of october. grrr.

Sorry - not a carb-free diet, but a low carb diet. No carbs is almost impossible to maintain. But very low in carbs as to make it effectively a carb-free diet. But also low cal. Fruit and veg and protein.
It's not great for training, but it's a quick way to get the weight off - and then I can go back to a regular diet and training harder. I still manage lots of miles - just not as fast right now.
