Carbs + Fat = FAT!!

FlittyGetsFit

Poppycock I say! Poppycock!

oh i love that stuff....lol

But it's full of carbs and fat, so don't eat it after 6pm.

I got some bad news for you. Food makes you fat not just one macro. Eat too much and don't exercise and you get fat and that is a fact. The original post is not. Nor is the one about Dr. Oz, BTW, his is a quack and that is a fact.

Calories can't tell time

BarbWhite09

I hope you're just trolling...

MLgarcia3

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.

Agreed!

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.

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".

Hahahaha Dr. Snoz :laugh:

Seriously though, I hate when people cite him as a source of legitimate information. Sure he gives good tips sometimes, but you have to take everything he says with a grain of salt!

Please show your work in this math equation. I will mark this incorrect.

Carbs are not the devil.

Processed food and junk food = fat. Eating a slice of ezekiel bread at night isn't going to magically make you fat. Heck, I sometimes eat BANANAS (carbs! sugar!) at night... not every night though, lol. I guess I enjoy living dangerously! ;-)

Pop tarts @ midnight. That is all.

Could you please provide credible sources to support these statements?

There is one thing Dr. Oz said about not eating before bed that I can kind of see, though I don't know if it's true or not. If you eat right before bed (assuming you don't need the calories to meet your daily requirements) by the time you wake up in the morning your stomach is going to be just as empty as if you hadn't eaten anything at all, but you'll still have taken in those extra calories.

Does that make sense?

I eat carbs. I eat fat. I eat from the moment I wake up in the morning to the moment I go to bed. I'm losing weight.

Nope. Not one bit.

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.

I disagree. This is, to put it nicely, nonsense.

Carbs are fine. Fat is fine. Carbs + fat is fine. Eating after 6pm is fine. Eating before bed is fine. Eating at 3 in the morning is fine.

What is not fine is eating more than your body needs. If you consume more calories than you burn, you will retain fat. Conversely, if you burn more calories than you consume, you will burn fat.

Due to the way my work schedule and my wife's work schedule fall, and the time that we are able to go to the gym together, I regularly eat my largest meal at 9:00 p.m. My bedtime is 10 p.m. I've lost 40 pounds in the last two months. I think your theory needs a little work.

Redemption187

Yep, this is BS.

Wow. Another code brown topic topped with crap.

It makes no difference what time of day you eat.
