Jak, the carb cycling doesn't sound realistic for a long term approach, although it might work to get you started. Do you know that CHO and Pro both have 4 calories per gram? (fat has 9) Start with keeping a food diary (write down EVERYTHING you eat), how much and when. Look for trends. Late night eating? Snacking while you cook dinner? Do you actually eat a lot of high carb foods now? Watch portions and try to have a balanced diet every day. How are you doing with the exercise?
