Whilst the literature shows nothing to the contrary, one cannot prove the null hypothesis. I suspect that tests using normal subjects versus people having a high first insulin response might show an effect for the latter (high INS-30) group. The definitive studies have yet to be done, in my opinion, and I do believe the late Monsieur Montignac was onto something with the conjecture of a time-of-day/carb interaction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-9796287699876844342011-01-02T02:56:01.705+11:002011-01-02T02:56:01.705+11:00My personal experience supports the "avoid hi...My personal experience supports the "avoid high calories after 5pm" myth. So I avoid carbs and fats after 5 or 6 pm (carbs means for me poly- and monosaccharides as well, so no ice creams etc.). <br />However, when I start to eat after 5 or 6 pm, I immediately start to gain weight. This is visible on my face in 2-3 days, and later on my trunk also. So whatever the mechanism is (e.g. decreased total energy intake/day) this myth works in practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-78314408981066921742011-01-01T20:59:06.775+11:002011-01-01T20:59:06.775+11:00Yes, but the next morning if/when people get up an...Yes, but the next morning if/when people get up and exercise before breakfast they can tap into their glycogen stores for energy.<br />Plus your body has to keep your blood sugar levels even all the time and to do that it converts stored glycogen back to glucose..<br /><br />Thanks for the article, I agree wholeheartedly. It frustrates me when friends avoid eating rice/pasta etc with their dinner but have no worries about their post dinner munching on icecream, low fat gelato, no fat lollies etc - I think you're spot on with the statement that a lot of people dont think of sugar as a carbohydrate and also think that no fat and low fat = low kilojoule!<br />Education is the key :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-47354474727957649282011-01-01T15:50:02.172+11:002011-01-01T15:50:02.172+11:00Why are you ignoring the effect carbs have on our ...Why are you ignoring the effect carbs have on our glycogen levels? After dinner, most people are unlikely to do much physical activity and this is the reason why carbs in the evening should be avoided-you're simply not going to use up all that glycogen, which will lead to increase in fat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-27913886622273414742011-01-01T15:47:26.616+11:002011-01-01T15:47:26.616+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Olga Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17577793943437119718noreply@blogger.com
