The conventional wisdom in the diet world is to avoid carbs religiously, especially in the evening! But a new diet is suggesting the complete opposite. Carb up -- especially in the evening.

They concluded there is an advantage in concentrating carb intake in the evening, especially for those at risk of developing diabetes or cardiovascular disease due to obesity.
