It worked for my body, glad to he someone else preaching it worked for them. LOL, why don't you run a little experiment on yourself. Eat no carbs after two pm, but eat in a 500 per day calorie surplus, and report back with what happens. I will go with 100% certainty that you gain weight.

At times I would loose nothing. It is not until I have cut carbs at night (while still maintaining the same amount of daily calories) that I am significantly loosing weight. I know carbs carry water but I keep dropping so I can't imagine it's all water. I was just wondering if anyone else was having positive results with this strategy? sorry, but you do not defy the laws of physics and math. if you are not eating carbs after 2pm and losing weight it just means that you are creating a calorie deficit, and that is why you are losing weight. Carbs after a certain time period has nothing to do with it. I don't think they are hearing this.

Where did he say he increased his calories by eating no carbs at night? Why would he? If he's losing weight I'm pretty sure he knows the amount of calories he needs to eat. If its easier for some people to lose by not eating carbs at night then why not go with that strategy?

The point is that just not eating carbs after a certain time is not changing anything.

If someone can go low carbs and lose weight more power to them but let's not get confused about why this works. It's not the lack of carbs or what time you eat the carbs it the calorie deficit.

At no time did I say I was going to ignore what some people believed. I can't believe that you people have time to just argue on myfitnesspal! Some of you have written thousands of posts!!! Just relax, everyone seems to be doing well for their own bodies and maybe what works for some people doesn't work for others. The condescending attitudes are not necessary. I am fully aware of how calorie deficits work but I am seeing success with this method.
