Tag: Carb curfew

According to research published in *Frontiers in Nutrition* in 2023, while carbohydrate-restricted diets are effective for short-term weight loss, the long-term optimal timing for carb intake remains a subject of debate. The carb curfew diet is a popular approach centered on this very idea, proposing that restricting carbs in the evening can aid weight management.

According to a study published in the journal Obesity, people who ate the majority of their carbs at dinner lost less weight than those who ate them earlier in the day, providing some basis for the popular 'no carbs after 5pm diet'. The strategy, also known as the 'carb curfew,' is a time-restricted eating pattern that eliminates carbohydrates during evening meals and snacks to support weight management.
