Law #10 - Severely curtail carbohydrate intake after 7 pm

An exception to this is if you work out in the evening, you should have post-workout refined carb consumption (high on the glycemic index) thirty minutes after your workout (or even sooner than 30 minutes if you didn't use supplements right after the workout) even if it is after 7 pm. Otherwise, carbohydrate intake should be curtailed after 7 pm because the body becomes less sensitive to the effects of insulin towards the end of the day, such that it is more probable that the carbohydrate will be stored as fat. The best bets for your late-night meal "snack 5" is either low fat cottage cheese or a casein protein shake, with a little bit of milk, as the milk makes it taste much better.

Another benefit of keeping carbs low at bed time, and having exercised that day, is that more growth hormone will be released at night when you're sleeping. This is when the most growth hormone is released in the body. The best way to naturally increase growth hormone is to lift weights. Some celebrities take growth hormone to try to stay looking young. If you lift weights, hold back on carbs at night, and take arginine and GABA before bed, you're growth hormone will be naturally elevated. Growth hormone is a tremendous aid in fat loss. More growth hormone released = more fat loss. As you age, the amount of growth hormone significantly diminishes. So I believe that the more growth hormone that you can release through weight training, limiting carbs before bed, etc., the longer you'll look young, and the longer you'll live.
