Did you know that when you eat carbs with fat, it makes you retain fat? Don't eat carbs after 6 pm or 4 hours before bedtime. This gives your body the time it needs to burn off as many of those carbs possible before you wind down and your metabolism slows down.

    Well it is a fact about the after 6 pm eating, that is if you sleep within 4 hours.

    Even dr Oz will tell you that one.

    This has almost no truth at all. A calorie is a calorie, a carb is a carb. Unless you've already eaten all of your calories/carbs/whatever, it does not matter what time you eat it. I'm very tired of seeing this misconception. Your body can't differenciate the calorie you ate at 7 AM from the one you ate at 9 PM.

    My dietitian told me it doesn't matter when you eat. I trust her. It has worked so far.

    Haha!

    This can't be true, I eat carbs all the time after 6pm, sometimes even in bed! (gasp!) And I am not fat.

    I plan to eat a crap ton (yes, this is a unit of measurement) of carbs on Friday, even after 6pm.

    LIES LIES LIES

    I eat the majority of my calories between 8-9 p.m., then go to bed by 10 and I'm not fat. It's all a bunch of BS. Comes down to calories in/calories out. That's it.

    Even dr Oz will tell you that one.

    Dr. Oz is paid to talk about things his endorsers want him to talk about.

    I will take the advice of my doctors and dietitian (who has more experience and education under her belt when it comes to nutrition that Dr. Snoz ever will) when they tell me, "It doesn't matter when you eat, your body will digest and process it the same".
