    I haven't tried any protein/carb cycling like you describe, but the answer to losing body fat and maintaining muscle size is maintenance or less total calories, higher than normal protein, and weight lifting. Cardio if you want to.

    Sounds dreadfully overcomplicated and restrictive for no good reason to me - so no I haven't tried it! :)
    Beware you are likely to get fairly extreme changes in weight due to water fluctuations so seeing your weight trend over time will be harder.

    Are you aiming to lose weight then? This is the maintaining weight section so the more usual goal in this forum is to lose body fat and increase (not maintain) muscle mass. Recomp in other words.
