    I don't mean to be mean, but I can't take OP's word for an entire pizza before bed being a good idea. He says he loses weight consistently, but how much weight is that? 1/2 lb a week? I'd be more inclined to pay him mind if he was lean or if he had a ticker that showed substantial weight loss, but he has no ticker and his picture shows a very heavy man, which leads naturally to the question: what the heck does he know about dieting?

    Again, no idea if he used to weigh 200 lbs more. I'm just saying.

    The only downside of pizza pre-bed is the cheese fuelled dreams.

    as a "nutritionist" you should know wtf youre talking about....

    http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/c/7986/108666/carbohydrates/

    Carbohydrates enter into this equation because:



    1) Carbohydrates increase triglycerides which, in turn, allow more very low-density lipoprotein particles (VLDL)
to be produced by the liver.
    Let's not overstate that VLDL is not a measurable particle in this equation(unless in a fasted state). That's why most people don't get asked about VLDL, They get asked about HDL and LDL readings.


    2) Triglyceride-rich VLDL interact with LDL particles, making them smaller. The more VLDL, the more small LDL particles. This will be reflected (though incompletely) in higher LDL cholesterol values.
    No disagreement here.


    3) Smaller LDL particles are more prone to oxidation--Oxidized LDL particles are more readily taken up by inflammatory white blood cells residing in the artery wall and atherosclerotic plaque.
    If we are talking about atherosclerosis. Eating carbs isn't deemed the cause of atherosclerosis. Genetics and risk factors (like smoking) are more directly probable causes.


    4) Smaller LDL particles are more prone to glycation--Glycation of LDL is an important phenomenon that makes the LDL particle more atherosclerotic plaque-causing. Glycated LDLs are not recognized by the LDL receptor, causing them to persist in the bloodstream longer than non-glcyated LDL. Glycated LDL is therefore taken up by inflammatory white blood cells in plaque.
    Again if we talking about someone prone to atherosclerosis. Someone with balance cholesterol levels doesn't have this risk.
    please remove your sig til you get a clue....
    I'm all for information, but don't just attribute your proof to a person more prone to a condition.

    Does a person with no hereditary factors and a balanced cholesterol profile have these risks when eating carbs?

    Holy crap, this thread is still going!

    You guys realize the OP said that this wasn't an everyday occurence, right? We all have days like this. What he was trying to get across is that we shouldn't beat ourselves up over it.

    your theory holds no water how much extra weight could you have lost by eating when you were going to stay awake..hmmmm.

    Well, it works for me. I eat and lift weights before I go to bed. I always make sure I stay within my daily allowance, and I always lose weight. Regardless what time you eat, the weight still comes off the same.

    I could probably sleep walk to the kitchen, then start eating like some kind of demented beast, as long as I stayed within my allowance, I'll lose weight.

    Good for you - You keep eating like that, see where it gets you ;)

    The thing that amused me more than anything in this whole thread is that OP referred to Totalsham as being "self-righteous" but this WHOLE thread is based upon his theory being correct over and above anyone else's. It might well work, he's clearly losing weight by doing this but that doesn't mean it works for everyone.

    I've never worked a night shift but feel much more at ease with a schedule that makes me wake up around noon and go to bed in the early hours of morning and I've eaten before bed in the past, and even now, and as long as I've been under my calorie allowance, it hasn't stopped me from losing weight. I'm jealous though, I've eaten a whole pizza before but it's not something I'd regularly do, not even when I work out... then again, pizza is delicious!

    that doesnt make it smart lol.
    He's under calorie limit, so why isn't it smart? Meal timing has no effect on weight loss. I'm eating now and it's 10:50pm. I'll eat till about 11:30pm (maybe an apple) then off to bed. But still will be within calorie limit.

    I agree. Meal timing does not matter. I regularly eat entire large pepperoni pizzas at random times. My weight has been stable all year. Most weeks I am very close to my fat, protein and carb targets. I track fiber and a few other micro nutrients as well.

    In support of OP, I intend to have a midnight snack before bed tonight as well!

    Yeah, that's right. A full 12 inch, thin crust veg and triple cheese pizza, Caribbean wedges and coleslaw. 1325 calories, and I'm off to bed shortly.

    The reason I posted this is because of all the bull crap I read about NOT eating after 7pm, or 3 hours before you go to bed.

    I work strange hours, so I'm nocturnal. Breakfast between 6pm and 7pm. Lunch at around 1am and then dinner between 6am and 8am. I usually eat an hour before I go to bed, and I've lost weight consistently every week for the last 3 months.

    So, we can put the whole "don't eat before bed, or you'll get fat" myth to bed <<< (see what I did there)

    Soooo because this "works" for you (which we don't actually know, as you do not have a comparative example of eating the same pizza a few hours before going to bed to compare results with) then...it should work for everyone else? We should just discredit everything we have ever heard about eating right before bed because you posted this?...

    Edit to add - I do not care about timing and eating, I often eat before bed. I also don't go posting about it and telling people it is the "Right" way of doing things. In the end - it really does not make a difference.

    Even though I'm not a fan of veggies on a pizza and yours had no meat, I won't judge that.

    Fail: Not a NY pizza. Come to NYC and I will show you how real pizza taste.



    but chicago pizza is the best! everyone who's anyone knows that :flowerforyou:
