    not eating carbohydrates after 6pm or at night time is actually a good idea for someone who is trying to lose weight and does not track macronutrients or calories, basically some average person... by doing this you limit foods that are easy to overconsume so its true to an extent.

    but for someone who keeps track of what they eat it makes no difference when you eat.

    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 don't think anyone is trying to be mean.....But I do think people are concerned that others reading this will actually believe when it has no scientific backing.

    You're not missing anything.

    You'll see this kind of broscience disputed loudly and often. This is about the original post being bad and misinformed, and the educated making their arguments.

    I would say most people replying here are not trying to be mean. I know I'm not. It's just that you see a post like this every other day at a minimum and it's complete rubbish as far as facts. With so much good information on MFP and available in general with little searching effort needed, it gets really old seeing this stuff show up constantly.

    Ah, I see. So what I was missing is that this is an ongoing thing. That makes a little more sense. I will, however, be very careful of what I say on here! :-)

    It's just that the mainstream diet media perpetuates certain nonsense rumors, over and over and over again, no matter how much science there is to the contrary. THEN people glom on to these ideas that they hear on TV or from a book or from a friend, and then post them here in the forums as if they are facts- this thread being a perfect example. The ideas are conceptualized to sell a book or whatever, and then get repeated so many times they become "true".

    The idea of no carbs after a certain time is tied to the fact that our activity levels, generally, match the sunrise/sunset pattern so that eating them in the morning and then lessening them as the day wears on so you're fueling for what is needed. It does stand to reason that when you are at a lower activity level at night, there is a greater chance carbs will get stored because there won't be any use for them.

    Except for the fact that eating at a calorie deficit eliminates the chance of ANYTHING being permanently stored.

    Depends though. If our bodies are not going to be able to actively use it, it's going to get stored as fat.

    Eating at a deficit means your body has to pull elsewhere for fuel (ideally your fat stores) at the time it is needed.

    YES GUYS THIS IS 100% TRUE AFTER 6PM ALL CARBS AUTOMATICALLY TURN INTO FAT. It's okay to eat them at 5:59PM though. One second late and you're going to be a whale.. be careful!!111!!

    Eating at a deficit would mean that over the course of time, fat oxidation exceeds fat storage. This makes the acute process of trying to "burn off that food you ate" meaningless.
