DH is a personal trainer, he has been trying tooth and nail to get me to stop eating carbs at night to lose weight faster. He says Ill burn fat instead of sugar when sleeping. Is there some scientific facts behind this? I dont want to follow what seems like another ridiculous rule to lose weight. I eat healthy, I exercise,.. as long as im in my calorie range isnt that all that matters? What are your thoughts? Apologies if there is already a thread on this subject its hard to search something as broad as carbs.

Eat carbs. Don't eat 'em past 6 or 7 if you can help it. Drink water in the evenings or eat celery if you are hungry. .
Celery makes me ravenous. Seriously ravenous. Celery and carrots are weird food for me. I cant eat them with out eating down the house 20 minutes later.

Apples do this to me!
Thanks for all of the responses .. I guess there is no right or wrong on that one. I just dont think its something I could live by especially because I workout in the evenings, my stomach actually hurts if I just eat proteins. He is against me eating any kind of carbs at dinner. I would be happy with fruit or brown rice or potato with dinner.It gets frustrating living with a personal trainer! Especially when he thinks I dont respect or value his advice.

Is there some scientific facts behind this?
But Trent (or a real doctor) should be along shortly to correct that if I'm wrong.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
