/\ Agreed.
The thing with carbs: If you want that altered metabolic state in which carbs are no longer the dominant source of energy, you gotta get rid of them. None of this, "Oh, just half a cup of oatmeal," half-assery.
Why you would ever want this is beyond my understanding, when you can simply
EAT LESS
MOVE MORE.

Edit: Heres an example of how I eat

Morning: Coffee, a fruit or two.
Lunch: Salad
Dinner: Huge salad, cooked broccoli and carrots, whatever protein I want with whatever fat I want with whatever carbs I want in whatever quantity I want.
Preworkout (if needed): Couple egg whites topped with a sliced banana and cinnamon
Post workout (if needed): Milk/yogurt/egg whites with some fruit, usually a banana.
