If you think it's too complicated, then don't worry about it. Do what works for you, and pump the brakes on telling other people what they should be doing.

If you want to lose weight
I don't. What really interests me about carb backloading is that some people report making muscle/strength gains while also reducing body fat. I'm talking about guys who train very intensely. I wouldn't recommend it for people who don't lift weights intensely. This isn't going to be for everyone for various reasons.
I wasn't looking for advice here. I wanted to hear about people's experiences with carb backloading. I made that very clear in the OP. Different people respond to different training/nutrition programs in different ways, so I want to hear about different people's experiences before I try it.

There's nothing wrong with it if your workouts are centered around the afternoon/evening with you progressing carb intake after your workout only. The general idea is that carbs will be better partitioned after exercise and stored as gylogen.
I still think total calorie intake for the day and macro nutrients are the key roles in body competition. When looking at it from an outsider's perspective it's very similar to what people do with intermittent fasting in that they get 95% of calorie intake post workout. I don't think there's anything wrong with practicing it per say but the benefits aren't as extreme as websites make it out to be.

The fact that you think it is somehow possible to reduce body fat while gaining muscle at the same time shows how very little you know about fitness and nutrition.
Good luck with your fad diet.

I've frontloaded carbs daze..........everything I've read about it made more sense to me because I don't workout till the late afternoon after work.....
What gave me better results was intermittent fasting.......I've shed more weight with that than anything else.
