Why I Chose the Always Eat After 7PM Lifestyle Challenge
So, to be honest, this wasn’t much of a lifestyle change. I’ve always loved eating another meal or snack after dinner simply because it helps me sleep better. However, once I started learning more about health and weight loss I followed the unspoken rule of restricting consumption around certain times. This concept is challenged in Always Eat After 7PM, and Joel Marion actually encourages you to eat in the evening! One quote from the book resonated with me:
“Research shows that the average person’s metabolic rate is no different during sleep than during the day. In short, your metabolism doesn’t slow down at night. Nor does your body store fat at the end of the day. Whether it’s 8 am or 8 pm, you use food for energy the same way.”
Like most who enjoy having a little snack before bed, I really didn’t like this rule. It was extremely hard to follow and when I broke the ‘rule’ I always felt extremely guilty. For this reason, it was an easy transition and ideology to begin to follow. The added recipes and shopping lists in the book made it even easier too!
Learning More About the Author
Bestselling author, Joel Marion, is a fitness expert and nutritionist debunking the myths underlying traditional dieting and offers a simple, highly effective weight loss program. I really appreciate that Joel was able to create a book and lifestyle challenge that is suited to more common eating patterns. When Joel was asked:
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.
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.
What was the most surprising discovery when you were researching scientific data for the diet?
That almost everything my college education and certifications taught me was NOT grounded in published scientific research.
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, The Lifestyle Phase to keep the weight off for good.
