change in diet trying a new plan

So I have been doing more research into fat loss and see what is out there for me to try. I love the science side of things and in my pursuit of shedding fat and gaining muscle I have gone to the books researching things and seeing what really works and what is bull crap. Much to my amazement I tried skipping breakfast as per John kiefer's suggestion from dangerouslyhardcore.com. Now why would I do so? Well to test the age old diet mantra of breakfast being detrimental to shedding fat and that we should eat first thing to get the metabolic fire stoked. I did try it and for the first few days I did see a drop in metabolic rate but I found that it was due to a drop in calories once I had readjusted them I was back to proper metabolic levels and further to that I saw a visual change in my bodyfat in 2 weeks. Further to that my energy increased, my mental sharpness was better in the mornings now and I was waking before my alarm went off. So it appeared that he was on the money for his recommendations. This deserved more investigating I thought to myself.

The fat loss strategy that he proposed was called Carb Nite, in essence you are eating 30 grams of usable carbs a day or less. Now let me elaborate here usable carbs is essentially carbs - fiber content. So you can exceed 30 grams of carbs a day so long as the fiber content is there. You do not cut calories, you just use fat as 50% of your calories or slightly more and the remainder being protein/carbs. Now I know it may sound crazy to you shed fat and not cut cals, well we should first establish that cals are not all created equal, our body can get x amount of usable calories from what we eat so the age old diet mantra of all calories are equal is really not true. We have to look at how the body uses said calories for energy. Once a week post orientation phase we have a carb nite which is 1 night where you can consume carbs ad nauseum if desired. The theory/science behind it is that keeping carbs so low for the orientation phase prevents the body from being able to digest carbs as fat, the enzymes are simply not there. The reason I have turned my attention towards this as a goal is simple, results. I want to shed more fat to push my body composition further than I have ever done before.

The reasoning behind not cutting calories is simple, muscle retention, cutting calories will allow for muscle loss which I do not want and had experienced while doing caloric cutting to get to around 10% bodyfat. I want to lean out, retain/build some muscle and not cut cals. According to conventional wisdom this would not be possible without cutting calories if it is as simple as cals in vs cals out. So I will be updating thing as I go along with recommendations for those whom want to try this out and follow in my footsteps as well as post results and answer questions from fellow fat loss seekers.
