Lex LUGER on lowering carbs to lose fat

[sorrow87]

I am curious for your input, he says not to eat fat at night which holds true as most say not to eat past 6pm. Any comments on this?

"Just cut back on your carbohydrates — breads, pastas, oatmeal, potatoes, etc. Eat them early, and eat green vegetables in the evening. Taper your carbs as the day progresses. At night people fill up their tanks with energy, or carbs, and if you fill your tank at night, think of what you’ll be doing over the next six hours… certainly not needing a full tank! And people wonder why they’re fat!"

It doesn't change the overall balance for the day when you eat. Oh and you don't stop burning calories while sleeping.

In other words, what he is saying is unnecessary.

I counter with Alan Aragon (The Truth):

"Whether fat oxidation is greater during waking or sleeping hours doesn't matter. What matters is 24-hour fat balance, which is fat synthesis minus fat oxidation. See, those are the 2 sides to the equation. If you eat less during the day & more at night, fat oxidation will occur at a greater rate during the day. If you do the opposite, fat oxidation will occur at a greater rate through the night - & you end up at the same spot. After 24 hours, the body doesn't know nor give a flying fuk which half of the day contributed to either a net loss, gain, or maintenance of fat balance. Unless you have a specific need for increased energy intake (ie, prolonged competition in a particular sport ocurring in the earlier part of the day), there's no reason to assume that eating more during the day & less in the evening is INHERENTLY beneficial for body composition goals. That type of thinking will at the very minimum get you a Broscar nomination."
