so overwhelmed...

Cutting out carbs before bed has worked for me and other people in the past. I definitely notice myself getting leaner when carbs are cut out when they're not needed. Body replenishes glycogen and has no need for the extra carbs.

I agree with this...there is really no need for me to get carbs in after 6-7 PM as I try to eat a ton earlier in the day when my metabolism is working very hard(have a high metabolism anyways)

I'm pretty sure it more depends on your sensitivity to insulin, because some people can mix carbs and fats and others can't. I know when I've done it, I seem to add more weight than when I don't mix them. And yes, calorie count remains the same, so does level of activity, so nothing is really changing. Carbs aren't the devil, no. Never said they were, but mixing them with fats is the devil.

basically the body uses either fat or carbs as an energy source..combining both in the same meal the body willtake what is need for energy and store the rest as fat..At least that is the conventional wisdom according to the atkins people..if youre not affected by it then it doesnt apply to you..

If you train at night theres nothing wrong with eating carbs directly after training no matter what time it is..i try to avoid fats directly after training and take most of my carbs in prior to my workout and the 2 meals right after..
