"Carbs are forms of sugar, and sugar cues the pancreas to make more insulin, which in turn triggers appetite. The later in the day that you consumer sugar, the more likely it is that you will get food cravings late at night. Late-night cravings are not a good thing!
It turns out that the number of times during the day that you signal your pancreas to make insulin is just as important as how much sugar you eat. Each "excursion" is like a hammer delivering blow after blow to your cells. No wonder today's diabetes experts want you to limit the number of times you eat carbs, especially in the evening. Add to this the fact that insulin cues hunger hormones in the guy, and you've got one incredibly powerful physiological response.
But you can strategically manage that war to your own weight loss benefits. I'll give you two guiding principles.
1. Snack on fiber, protein, vegetables, and fresh fruits (not dried fruits)
2. Eat lean and green at night."
It's that simple....Rule #7 was literally 2 pages long. No carbs after lunch, enough said! :) Another great chapter. The first paragraph at the top of this entry explains why I'm a carb freak. I'm not saying don't eat them ever, I'm saying "choose different sources". That's all.
Anyway....We started another challenge with the wonderful Stephanie Winters yesterday, HOWEVER she hasn't made it to our office to do pinch tests etc, so it's not QUITE official yet. If anyone wants to join the challenge, let me know! I'd love to have some of my followers on board!
