17. Simply Put
High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets can be dangerous to your
overall health due to high ketone levels and lack of the primary fuel
source for the brain.
Carbohydrates are needed to reach fat stores and help in building
muscle, and without this important macronutrient, you will suffer.
High ketone levels due to high amounts of protein can lead to
damaged organs if untreated.

19. AFTER 7:00 P.M.
Do not deprive yourself of your typical amount of calories because your busy schedule pushes you to
eat dinner past 7:00 p.m.
Choose foods listed below that do not disrupt your normal sleep-wake cycle, and do not overindulge.
Eat until you are satisfied enough to sleep well.
A daily eating pattern with three well-portioned, healthy meals and two snacks is best, and
consuming those calories before 7:00 p.m. is a good rule of thumb to follow.
At night our bodies are tired and do not digest food for use immediately like they do for our morning
meal.
