Eating after 7 or 8:00 PM

Has anyone tried not eating after 7 or 8 at night and sucessfully lost weight? Does it work?



TIA!

For me I can't! I usually don't get home from work until 8:30 or so. It hasn't always been that way and I haven't seen any difference from when I used to eat earlier. But I do try not to eat huge meals at the time.

I usually don't eat until after 7 and that's usually my biggest meal of the day - I graze throughout the day, dinner is the only meal FI and I can share together.

And I've still lost 25 pounds!

Now- indigestion at bedtime? Yes, we both get that

Since I've stopped eating after 7pm I just feel better, whether or not I've lost from not eating after that late, I'm not sure. I just don't feel so full going to bed.

I recently read that this is a myth. The article stated that your body doesn't know the difference between eating earlier or later. They suggested that people gain weight when they eat after 7:00 Pm because people are less active and do not burn as many calories.


HTH!

I've read that this is a myth as well but, I just don't believe it. I've gained about 10-15lbs since my wedding and, 'what' I eat hasn't really changed at all - the only thing that has changed is 'when' I eat it which is usually after 8pm. I am convinced that this is the reason I have gained weight - there is no other explanation I can see... I'm planning on starting the no eating after 7pm whenever possible so I'll let you know how it goes
