WHAT to eat, and WHEN to eat it

If you truly want to see some major fat loss, especially around the belly area, then you need to know WHEN the best time is to eat certain foods...

Protein can be eaten at any time of the day.. It really doesn't matter how late at night it is, because protein can be used at all times of the day because it is so important to our body's functions.

Fruits and Vegetables can be eaten at ALMOST any time of the day. Since these do have some carbs, the later you have them in your day, the worse they are for you.. And some fruits are also high in sugar and that will really be bad for you if you eat it right before bed.

Starchy Carbs like bread and pasta should NEVER be eaten at night. I would say about 3 or 4 hours before you go to bed, HIDE the bread so you can't even see it! Even if you eat whole wheat bread, it will still store as fat because all of the energy that the body gains from the carbs will be just stored as fat because your not getting any exercise while your sleeping.. The OPTIMAL time for eating carbs such as bread or cereal is FIRST thing in the morning. This will get you a nice, energized start to your day.

Protein Shakes are great at any time of the day. Before a workout, after a workout, and before bed are all great times to have one. The reason you need to drink them after a workout is because it will help you recover from your workout and it will replenish all of your amino acids and feed your hungry muscles the protein that it needs! And before bed is an awesome time because it will supply you with protein throughout the night when your body is going without food for 6-8 hrs.. The best kind of protein to take before bed is casein protein, which they sell in health food stores, but is also found in milk.
