Clyde Advice

I'm a 6' 250# clyde with about 1.5 years of riding (1800 miles in my first year). I have greatly increased my cardiovascular health (no more HBP meds for me!) but I have only lost about 10 pounds. I haven't changed my diet much.

From some recent reading, I have learned that I usually ride anaerobically, huffing my way along at a fairly good pace (I like speed). So, on to my questions: On diet, is it more caloric intake or should there be some magic protien/carb/fat ratio? And, how can I judge when I'm riding aerobically for maximum fat burning and for what distance/time should I ride aerobically each day?
