I was referring to the fact that I believe all the no-carb diets are basically a fad that will go the same way as the no-salt and no-fat diets of the 80s and 90s. The reason I don't gain weight is the volume of riding that I do, and while diet is also a factor, cutting out essential nutrients like carbs will only cause more problems than it solves.
