are high protein low carb diets good for competitive cyclists trying to lose weight?
Ive been reading this book on how high protein and moderate fat diets are alot better than low fat high complex carb ones. It says it controls your insulin levels much better and thus not store fat. On the other hand if I limit carbs with the amount of training I do daily Im afraid I will bonk out. Im 6′1 and weight about 171 lbs, and I can lose body fat and get leaner

You reading the Abs Diet by David Zinczenko? That one seems to have some good scientific backing, and while I’m no nutrition expert, it seems to be an effective, healthy way to lose fat (not just weight, which could include muscle). I say this is a good way for everyone to go. I think you could modify the diet for your purposes though, and add in more carbs, but complex carbs. Good luck with your training!
