This ought to be coupled with an effective strength training programme. We're talking anywhere from half a % to a % of body weight per week. The goal is lasting changes in body composition toward performance health. And even though you feel you can't cut out carbs, because you're making sure that you're getting enough carbohydrate on the bike, you're doing the right thing.
