re: Anyone Here Tried Carb Backloading?

Is it bad to take in a pretty small amount of carbs?

I'm a fairly small guy, about 5'9" 150. After my current batch of workouts my muscles are looking pretty good (to me, not to a bodybuilder) and I'm getting pretty trim. My issue, as has been my entire life, is the little area of fat around my hip/lovehandles towards the back. Always been there. I don't care about weight, that's irrelevant to me. Also don't care about trying to really balloon out my muslces either, for my size I like how they look plenty enough. The biggest thing I want to target is just getting rid of that annoying section on my hips.

I know I'm not just gonna do straight cardio, then I'll lose the muscle I've put on. But for me personally, woudlnt' it be better to have a lower carb diet? Right now it's very protein heavy with my carbs I do get coming from green veggies and that's about it.
