It is week three ( week 1 update and week 2 update HERE ) of my Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets me Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks-While Burning Fat Overnight. This publication by Joel Marion is now available to purchase here. The Always Eat After 7 PM plan consists of: The 14-day Acceleration Phase to kick-start the program and see rapid results, The Main Phase where you'll learn exactly which foods to eat when in order to achieve your weight-loss goals and The Lifestyle Phase to keep the weight off for good.
The first week was the hardest as I had to overcome the mental roadblock that eating after 7 pm slows down your metabolism and you put on weight. 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. I'm glad this book changed my perception. I was always a heavy breakfast eater which is contrary to what the book says. Those who ate breakfast ended up eating about 260 calories more a day. Those who skipped breakfast were about one pound lighter than those who ate breakfast. These findings led the researchers to conclude that eating breakfast isn't necessarily a good strategy for losing weight. The science isn't really there. Breakfast could very well be the least important meal of the day- BAM!! But now I feel amazing, my body feels amazing, there is less bloating, I don't get hungry as frequently as I was getting prior to following this diet plan- cuz now I make smart food choices and meals that are more balanced and incorporate items from each food category, namely protein, friendly fats, super carbs and non-starchy vegetables and fruits.
