I have tried many diet and exercise programs in the past and have never really found anything that has worked for me or that I was able to sustain. Some were the ever-popular diets that promised great results and I was always excited to try it but soon found out they were too restrictive. When any diet is too restrictive, it is sure to be a failure. At least that was my experience.

I am so excited to be introduced to 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 and take part in this book challenge.
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.

I have joined many gyms and group fitness classes in the past. Two years ago, I joined a gym down the street from my house, and religiously went to my workouts 3-5 days a week. Being an early bird, I was able to get my workout in before heading out to work. I really enjoyed the workouts. I loved the increased energy and stamina I had and most of all, I loved the camaraderie and support from the coaches and other members.
However, I have always struggled with the eating part. I was not able to follow any “eating” plan my coaches provided. Granted they were all provided with the “meeting the client where he/she is at.” And I struggled… a lot and I eventually quit my gym. I did not see the results I wanted to see. Knowing that my eating habits are a huge reason why I was not seeing the results, I felt that I was wasting my money on the gym membership.
BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF
It’s been well over 6 months since I quit my gym and have really been struggling with my health especially with my weight and just not having the energy. Working long hours and lack of sleep definitely does a number on my health. While my goal is still being the best version of myself, I would love to see myself having more energy, eating right and not feeling bloated or sluggish, and ultimately losing weight.

Pin It For Later
I’ll be curious to see how well this works for you. I eat when I get sleepy in the evenings. Usually I am reading and trying to stay awake. I’ll look forward to seeing your progress.
Thanks Lisa! I am looking forward to seeing my progress and sharing along.
Hey, Lina! I love your post! Very nicely written, and I certainly learned a thing or two. I’ll have to look into the book! Thanks!
Thank you Sarah! Yes, please check it out. 🙂
Interesting concept.
This is interesting! I wonder what the book has to say about people who are naturally hungriest during the day? I’m usually very hungry mid-morning through afternoon and am not very hungry for dinner.
Awesome post! Thanks so much for sharing
I am definitely interested in your progress and how this all turns out. I am definitely finding that the older I get, the harder it is to keep weight off… especially being a shift-worker and not getting enough sleep. Good luck!!!
Oh I cannot wait to see how this turns out for you! Since the end of January, I started my version of ‘Intermittent Fasting’ as well as tracking my food in My Fitness Pal, keeping a close eye on Carbs/Fat/Protein. What I have found is that I eat after 7pm ever since because I have enough calories to do so and I am hungry! I have lost a total of 13 lbs. and have kept it off. Only 3 lbs to go! Good luck! I will be following your journey!
Congrats on your journey! That is so awesome.
I get really hungry in the late evening and I always felt like I was doing something wrong by eating so late. I need to pick up his book to see the science of his claims because I’m so happy to hear that eating late isn’t always so bad!
This is really interesting… I love eating later on in the day. I always believed this was unhealthy to do.
I’ve been told my entire life to stop eating at 7pm!!! I need to grab this book, this is a life changer.
This will be a interesting case study on the result of this book. I hope you will post your results.
I always eat at night, but I feel like I’m doing something wrong. Glad to see that might not be the case!
I am looking forward to following your progression!
I’ve never held up to the belief that you shouldn’t eat after 6 pm. It would be far too long to fast. When we were kids we were always given toast for supper or fruit.
We’ve been taught so many wrong things about food and that is why so many people are overweight and unhealthy these days. Most of this can be contributed to the fact that we’ve been told that we have to eat 3 meals a day, even if we don’t feel hungry, which is a crazy concept if you ask me!
Good luck with it and here’s to feeling healthier!
I can’t wait to see how your journey goes. I wonder how many other myths we have been believing!
As someone who is looking to lose a bit of quarantine weight, I’m interested in seeing your progress!
Interesting post, can’t wait to read the book. I have always been eating after 7 🙂
