Ive done no carb diets before and inevitably they always lead to binge carb eating. At least in my case and many people i know. You need carbs, when you deprive yourself it just makes you want them more in the long run.
Why torture yourself?

It's only once a week if that though.
AND If you eat right on no carb day (enough protein, fats) it's not torture at all, especially since you follow it immediately with a refeed day
But you obviously have had some success Mitch, as you have dropped a lot of fat, so I wont argue against YOUR methods, I can only add positive thoughts on carb cycling as it has been the secret to my personal success
