I have not heard of that specific diet. But from what you are describing, that is what I did. My carb intake was "highest" right before and after a workout. Also, my cheat meals were continued until 4 weeks before the contest.
Yeah, thats basically it. This guy Lyle really got into the low-carb diets, and became, seriously, one of the worlds leading experts, while he himself was something of a flake! He is all over the internet. Was personal friends of Dan Duchaine. Funny though, after all the years of research, and driving himself half mad, he has concluced that in the end, what matters is the same old basic energy equation that has driven us since day one.. calories in (and absorbed) - calories expended. Doesn't much matter what you eat. The various diets are just different methods to the same ends.
