Worked for me. Went from 300+ g carbs a day to 180g carbs a day, and then eventually cut it down to 100-125g net carbs a day. Lost weight, all my blood numbers went from borderline to good, and am generally able to maintain performance by simply eating higher carb foods before and during hard rides, and staying low carb off the bike.
