I am two weeks in to the Always Eat After 7p Challenge (see my original post here)and I actually feel great! Removing the guilt associated with time constraints works wonders, but I will get into that a bit later. The ease of which I have fallen into a more healthy program is crazy to me because I have been so nonchalant about it for so long - I am going to eat what I want, when I want and as much of it as I want because I work hard, I earned it, I am stressed - whatever the excuse was I did it. The trouble was I got into a pattern that was tough to shake and before I knew it, BOOM, I couldn’t fit my clothes! Thankfully, Joel Marion’s Always Eat After 7PM program makes dieting easy and eliminates 90% of reasons for resistance. 

Here, Joel Marion shares more about the program:

What inspired you to write the book?

After authoring 6 best selling books it was glaringly obvious there were 2 huge misconceptions about dieting that needed to be exposed. The first is that you can't eat late at night or before bed, which science now shows is NOT true. And second, you can't eat large portions that satisfy your natural instinct. This book solves both these problems by providing an evidence-based, enjoyable approach to dieting that can be used by any person to quickly achieve their weight loss goals.

How difficult is the Always Eat After 7 PM plan to follow?

It's not. And that's exactly why I wrote the book. While any diet is never truly easy, it can be more enjoyable and much easier to adhere to when you understand how Always Eat After 7pm works because it caters to our bodies natural instincts.

Have I really been eating after 7p since starting the program? Yes. Have I lost weight since starting the program? Yep, sure have, as well as inches! I am sleeping better and much longer than I was and I have more energy already. Yes, I have been walking a few times a week but not nearly as strict a program as I have tried in the past. I just find that I am not nearly as hungry as I was before. Joel says, “Late-night eating also curbs calorie intake the next day. In a four-week study, dieters added a snack to their daily regimen 90 minutes after dinner every night, and check this out: late-night eaters ate an average of 397 fewer calories per day.” I wake up around 6:30-7a each morning and I am not hungry at all until maybe 11a, I kid you not.

In my next post I will share my results thus far as well as some of the food I have been enjoying. You still have time to join me in this challenge!
