May has been a pivotal month for me for many reasons – it marks the birth of my daughter, the time frame in which I almost reached my post child bearing goal weight and the time where I lost the ability to walk for a period of four months plus.  Having such highs and lows occur in the same memory realm has proven to be a challenge in recent years, especially with the way social media shares highlight reels of our lives on their anniversary dates.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the skin I’m in.  I find that my curves gave me a boost to my sex appeal and confidence.  Looking back on the images of my past, however, does make me miss being more active and enjoying food void of the sneaky guilt that can creep up.  That’s why when the opportunity to review Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion was presented, I jumped at it.

Immediately upon reading the title I thought, oh this will be a cake walk (pun intended).  Literally everything we have been told says you are not supposed to eat after 7 o’clock at night, not if you are trying to lose weight.  The exact method I followed back when I lost all that weight years ago was NOT eating after that time of night.  This made me curious.  I want to be healthier, lose a little bit of this weight while I tone up and gain more energy.  Being in quarantine has done a number on my sleeping habits so if I can learn how to achieve those physical goals while I gain more energy and improve my sleep patterns from reading Always Eat After 7p, I am all for it.

I am going to challenge myself to follow the three-phase plan as outlined in Always Eat After 7p and I challenge you to join me!  I have started reading it and so far, the information in Always Eat After 7p makes a lot of sense.  We’ve been traditionally taught to avoid carbs, have an early dinner, and never eat before bed. But the fact is, the latest scientific research shows us this earlier model is not the most ideal.  Author Joel Marion says, “Always Eat After 7 pm is a three-phase program that teaches you how to lose big by strategically eating big when you are naturally hungriest—in the evening. This may sound too good to be true, but let me assure you it is no gimmick. It’s all about making strategic and smart food swaps, and you can still eat your favorite foods.”  So, let’s test this out.

Quarantine restrictions are being lifted across many states, distance learning is ending for the school year and its time to shed some of the eating habits we may have picked up over the past few months.  Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion is now available to purchase.  Watch the author share why he wrote the book, then you can learn more about the book and how to purchase here.

I will do the often feared before and after pics, share some pics of my meals and of course I will include cute workout gear and the ways I get moving both indoors and out. Keep checking back here for the updates on my progress. Will you join me?
