Ive lost 3/4 stone in 3 weeks & i havent a clue how! All ive done is eat no carbs after 6pm & go on the contraceptive pill!

thats the reason then. the most weight is put on at night

as said before, that makes no sense whatsoever to me. what does it matter what time you eat, it's still the same amount of calories.

Your body, rather than burning up those calories, stores it while you are asleep (you use much less energy sleeping, than you would awake).

It's all about the exercise

my original point still stands though, time of eating doesn't affect how fast you burn off your food.

 

if people are that desparate to lose weight why not just get yourself a tapeworm?

my teacher at school once asked me if I had worms coz I ate and ate and never put any weight on (I was a teenager then and was well skinny)

*touch wood* is till have a nice high metabolism, although i think it's starting to slow down

Edited July 16, 200420 yr by Shenlong

The body tends to store fat, but not burn it up when needed. The body usually uses up muscle first. So sleeping and storing more fat than normal and then not eating the next day, won't have the fight effect.
