    Wonderful accomplishment!

    I gave up highly processed and simple carbs and added sugar about a year ago...it had a tremendous effect on my weight loss journey here. On rare occasions I'll have a sweet treat, but for the long haul-this is my way of eating.
    Congratulations!

    Quit tip... eliminating carbs for a while and not eating past 6pm is a great way to get over a weight loss plateau. Only ingest fast carbs right after a hard cardio workout.

    Eliminating carbs may make you lose some water weight, which is kind of false weight loss... or it'll increase your deficit if you don't replace the calories with more fat and protein.

    Meal timing is completely irrelevant - not eating past a certain time will make no difference unless, again, your deficit is larger because you don't use the calories you would have otherwise spent on dinner/dessert/snacks after this time.

    @debtay123 fast carbs are things like breads, pastas, sweets, processed frozen foods. If you crave any of that stuff the best time to eat it is right after a hard cardio session so your body burns it quick. But don't go over board.

    If that's how it worked, wouldn't it be better to eat them before the cardio so you burn them off during the cardio session? Or even better, after a heavy weights session to help with muscle growth/repair?

    @debtay123 that's how its works for me. You will have to experiment to see what works for you. I don't eat them every time after a workout and I don't like to eat before a workout. I usually have a protein shake before workout. After a good weightlifting session I will incorporate slow carbs like sweet potatoes, quinoa, black beans, sour dough bread, whole grain pasta etc.
