late night carb fest?

I was reading Bill Bryson's new book "At Home" recently and was struck at how many of the principles of sensible eating I have been trying to embrace actually go back to how we ate in times gone by. In Bryson's book he talks about how in Samuel Peyps day your dinner (the largest meal of the day) was eaten around the middle of the day. The evening meal which is now our largest meal traditionally was a much lighter affair. As part of the sensible eating regime I have tries to follow since my detox one of the keys is taken from books such as Ian Marber's "The Food Doctor - Everyday Diet" where he stresses how much better it is to eat your larger meal at lunchtime and your evening meal without heavy carbs. So I am trying to get back to eating with that principle in mind. I am still making the carb element for hubby and my daugther both of whom need it - but for me I am going to try to stick to this principle.

No heavy carbs after 5pm for 80% of the week. Hopefully I'll be back on track again.
