I learned about Mark Sisson through Grant's writings. After looking into it, it appeared to be a refinement of what I do nutritionally anyway (I don't forego carbs to the extent that Sisson does--can't give up baking my own bread!). I find that the closer I adhere to Sisson's points, the more even my energy feels throughout the day, the week, or just the ride. I also do intermittent fasting, but not as a formal part of a plan--there're just those days when I feel like not eating and so I indulge that.
Overall, through the years of being very active (former climbing and backcountry skiing guide, long-distance running & cycling, etc.) I find that fats are absolutely essential to my energy level and my ability to be as active as I am. . . My wife recently began adhering closely to Sisson's approach--she has many food allergies and gluten intolerance--and noted very good results.
