instead of cutting carbs totally...first try cutting them at night...try not eating any carb after 5-6 at night...but also cut some of the fats as fats pack a whopping 9 cal per gram compared to the 4 in protein and carbs. And you don't have to cut carbs persay just the bad ones...start eating wheat bread...whole grains..and some veges and fruits...i hope some of this helps.

If your on a 3000 calorie diet i dunt care how much you work out, your not going to lose weight. Trust me, I kno, ive had to cut to around 4% bodyfat while still staying strong and not being able to compete in wrestling meets. I know that bodybuilders often do this by cutting carbs, but if you ask them to lift anything heavy on the day of a meet, they usually can't (not that they lift HEAVY to begin with). Cutting carbs will help you to lose weight initially, because youll be reducing the amount of glycogen in your blood and muscles, which will affect performance, and will not last after you go off of your diet.
