This way you'll get more phytonutrients and fiber vs sugar from fruit.

Look in the CKD/Body Opus forum for information on TKD. This plan has you ingesting carbs 30-60 min prior to your workout and you burn it all up during the workout so you're back in ketosis shortly after you're done.

2) Cardio: 30 min a day is nifty, but it's the recommended dose for everyone. meaning, it's what's expected and it keeps you healthy enough. I'd say 30-60min at a slow pace (keep HR down under aerobic rate). Do this 5x a week and you'll see more results. The faster you go (aerobic), the more cardio heart pumpin you'll get. Slower is for FAT loss

Here's a cut and paste done to a cut and paste from another post regarding Fat Loss:

It is a myth that low intensity is best for fat loss just because more fat is burned for fuel as a percentage of the total calories burned.
Low Intensity (L.I. for short) burns about 50% fat for fuel while High Intensity (H.I.) burns about 40%. This is not a big difference.
Say, for example, you burn 100 calories in 20 minutes of L.I. work compared to 160 calories in 10 minutes of HI work, you've still burned more total fat doing HI.
High intensity training will also boost your metabolism long AFTER the workout is done. This does not happen with low intensity training.
High Intensity training is a powerful fat loss tool, but should only be used by trainers who already have a good level of fitness.
The basic idea when you're trying to lose fat is to create a caloric deficit. The type of training does not matter so much as creating that deficit. High Intensity training just creates the deficit more efficiently than Low Intensity training.
All this being said, it's better to do something than nothing, and it's better to do that which you enjoy as it's more likely you'll continue on with it.
In your quest to banish fat don't forget that weight lifting is a tool you should consider adding to your repetoire - lean muscle burns fat long after you're done working out

3) Weights: I suggest a circuit training regement to start with. Do this for 30 days and move into the more complex stuff (free weights). You'll get ramped up better and it's easier on the body. You can do circuit training every other day at a moderate level. Muscles need time to rest and grow, so don't do it every day unless u want to seperate muscle groups. (ex: mon - back/biceps, tue - chest/tri/shoulders, wed - legs)

Never work the same group 2 days in a row - always keep at least 1 day between sessions.
