CArb cycles can work very good as a cutting diet. I've seen everything from 3 day setups to 7 day ones. The trick is to make sure you don't "Calorie" cycle too. When the carbs go down, the fat or protein has to go up. IMO the best way to start one is to do a 3 day split with maybe a 0 day too. Something like this:
Example only:
Monday - 300g carbs
Tuesday - 150g carbs
Wednesday - 50g carbs
Thursday - 300g carbs
Friday - 150g carbs
Saturday - 50g carbs
Sunday - 0 carbs

The drawback is you have to think about this kind of diet daily. Keto or Targeted Keto are easier in that regard.

TBH I don't really know enough about how carbs affect you or how insulin sensitive/resistant you are. That was just an example, didn't mean you should follow it. Carb Cycling is tricky, I did it once under the direction of a dietitian, I'm not qualified to set one up myself.
