Apparently according to Joanna Hall the benfits of doing this are
Lose off the inches
- Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol
- Improves sleep
- Increases energy levels by a large extent
- Reduces bloating - Excess Carbs taken during the evening generally leave you feeling bloated. Try to understand it in this way, on the intake of a bowl of pasta, the body requires three bowls of water to convert the starch to glycogen. Any excess glycogen that cannot be burned off will get converted and stored as fat.
but she also recommends drinking 2 glasses of water before every meal.... I must start doing that too
