Will Eating Late Night Carbs Cause You To Put On Weight?

By Russ Howe


If you have been looking online for information on how to lose weight you may have stumbled across the theory that eating carbohydrates late at night is a bad move for effective fat loss. Today we will look at this theory and help you to determine fact from fiction.

Due to the fact that everybody has different opinions in the health industry, it is common to find people who are totally lost on how to achieve their personal goals. People tend to hear several contradicting pieces of information and usually find it impossible to fully commit themselves to a diet or workout routine because there is always somebody in their life telling them that they should be doing something else.

However, despite the big strides we have made in scientific research over the last two decades, the basic five principles of losing weight remain largely the same.

In a business with so many supplements and workout plans on the market, it is easy to see why people get lost so frequently. Everybody claims to have 'the big secret formula', of course.

Thanks to the rise of celebrity culture over the last ten years, there has been a rise in the belief that carbohydrates are your enemy if you are trying to lose body fat. This has led to many ill-fated carb cutting diets to hit the scene, creating countless yo-yo dieters in the process. This belief stems from that culture. Can your body tell when the time is when you eat a meal?

No, it can not. This belief is just a general term which has now lost it's meaning completely. It's a very loose stereotype and many people falsely believe it to be true.

So, what are the facts behind this statement?

Recent scientific studies point out that individuals who consume a large intake of carbohydrates which remaining largely inactive will find it much easier to store body fat than people who try to consume their carbohydrates around periods of activity.

So why does this myth exist?

The 'no carbs after 7 pm' fascination was first created by gossip magazines directing readers to the latest quick fix method to lose fat. Their core audience, of course, are secretaries and office workers. The majority of that audience doesn't exercise regularly, hence looking for a quick fix solution to their fitness problems. They also tend to work 9-5 jobs.

This is how they were able to put an actual time on the moment you should stop eating carbohydrates. This stereotype of somebody working in an office all day, not exercising regularly and then being completely inactive after 7 o'clock each night simply doesn't fit everybody.

There is nothing wrong with eating carbs after a certain time of day. There is no scientific research to suggest or prove otherwise. It is up to the individual to determine when their biggest period of inactivity occurs during a day and then structure their carb intake around that accordingly.

What is the solution to guarantee maximum results?

Be sure to fit your main carbohydrate intake around your most hectic point in the day. It's that simple. Your body will then be able to store less and use more. This also works for those who wish to get bigger but don't know how to build muscle. Carbohydrates are a fantastic nutrient if used correctly in your diet.

Ultimately, your muscles cannot see the clock and don't recognize the theme tune to your favorite soap opera. They cannot tell what time of day it is and they do not care. If you are trying to figure out how to lose weight and were feeling a little confused about this myth, you now know the scientific facts behind it and why it doesn't apply to everybody.
