Quick Q. about no carbs after 3 p.m.

[aster]

When you say no carbs after 3 p.m.... what time are you guys getting to bed?
I'm a 1 a.m. kind of girl, so is cutting carbs at 3 a little early?

IMO it's not really a case of what exact time is cut off for carbs, for me it's more about how much carbs are you consuming per day. And the larger portions go in the morning. There's no way I can eat dinner w/out carbs and enjoy it. I just make sure it's a very small portion of it. Some of these guys that say, "no carbs after 3pm go to bed at 8pm. I've seen posts like that.

If you'd like to play it safe go low carb, and for dinner eat a very small portion of complex carbs. And remember if weight loss is your goal, it doesn't matter if you eat carbs after 3pm or 10pm, if you're not calorie deficient you are not going to lose the weight.

you should just set a total # of carbs per day and try to eat them earlier in the day-the exact hour of cutoff is not set in stone

What is the scientific basis for eating them early in the day...??

The carb fairies that come out after 6:00 P.M. do not count, BTW.

Thanx!! I really was cutting out all carbs in the early afternoon.

Could this be why I have zero energy by 9? In your opinion??

Are you getting plenty of fats? If so that should give you your enegery. I eat carbs earlier in the day, and fats later in the day. I seem to have plenty of energy throughout the day doing it like that.

I would say yes.
