yes carbs especially white carbs and sugars have to go especially after 6pm, you also need to eat or take in .9 ounces of protein for every lb of body weight you have. Cut out alcohol for the majority and increase water intake to 101 fluid ounces or more. Decrease cardio and increase weights, when cardio is done make sure two hours later you take in a healthy protein rich snack. Also after weight training immediately take in a protein/amino/anabolic shake. I recommend Musclemeds carnivore/secret sauce.
