That is the message from nationally renown clinical nutritionist, Dr. Jim Lavalle. Lavalle says the key to weight loss is counting calories and carbohydrates. 

 

 

Additionally, Lavalle recommends eating your carbs in the afternoon.

 

 

Fasting between meals is a great way to reduce the carbs and calories piling up. Lavalle says there is obviously an exception for those with low blood sugar.

 

 

Lavalle recommends eating three square meals a day. He also points out there is a new trend recommended eating only between the hours of 9 am and 7 pm and a couple times a week only eating between noon and 7 pm.
