i have lost a ton of weight(pun intended) and have never cut back on carbs while riding.
here is how its done. while riding your body needs carbs to keep riding longer than 1-2 hours. after your workout is done there is a small window of opportunity that your body will open up its stores and accept carbs and proteins that go into your body stores to refuel. after about 4-5 hours this metabolism slows down and you will be converting extra carbs/sugars to fat. so this is the time to eat. if you do this you will recover very fast and not be sore or barely even tired.
so i eat while i ride and just after to refuel. then i snack often all day, but very sparingly amounts. you will be burning calories at twice the rate after a workout for a while, so even just watching tv you can lose weight.
if you can workout in the morning, you will burn more calories all day doing normal everyday stuff. this really works. you won't feel tired because you have refueled your body and you will lose weight.
the only draw back is that if you don't snack(very lightly and low carb) and drink lots of water, you will feel hungry.
doing this will also super charge your metabolism for anybody type.
