Complete nonsense. I eat dinner between 9 and 10 almost every night and have lost 50 lbs. People who don't eat after 7 have too much free time on their hands.0

40lbs down, almost all my food is eaten (is that a word??) between 5pm and 9pm...I don't think your body cares what time it gets food

Yes, this is especially true when one eats a big meal right before bed.
@DDAstrid - how much time after you eat do you go to bed?0 -
Looks like you've gotten some great info OP.
I like to ask questions when presented with such facts e.g. What if I change time zones during the day? Does it matter if I work midnights?0 -
I eat dinner every night between 8:30 and 9:00 PM...I'm pretty healthy and fit.
generally these kind of things are simply meant to help people control their food intake...if they stop eating at a certain time or only eat at certain times, or don't eat this or that, it tends to create an energy deficiency which is all that is necessary to lose weight...there are many things people do to maintain such a deficiency.
I have several rules for myself because I don't log and those rules simply help me maintain my weight...there's no other magic to my rules than that.0 -
Ditto. I have lost ~90# since last July without ever eating dinner before 7 or 8pm and >gasp< often without breakfast!strong_curves wrote: »No truth to that at all. I eat dinner after 7 every single night & it hasn't made me gain weight or impede my weight loss.
I am such a rebel!0 -
We eat later than that every day and I've been losing weight just fine. Would I lose more if I ate earlier? I have no idea, but it wouldn't fit my lifestyle. It ain't broke so I ain't fixin' it.0

Astrid, it really depends on you and what you can handle before going to bed. I eat the bulk of my calories (we're talking like 2000 or more) within a 2 hour time period before I go to sleep (meaning, I take my last bite and off to bed I go) and don't have any trouble whatsoever.
Eat after 7:00 pm. Eat after 11:00 pm. Eat after 3:00 am when you're deep asleep and sleep walking to the refrigerator but also sleep walk to your computer or phone and log it.

I rarely eat dinner after 7, but I always eat ice cream after 7. Late dinner can result in excess fat gains. Late dessert actually helps you lose weight...but only if it's ice cream.
I kid. Meal timing doesn't matter, as the others said.danieltsmoke wrote: »40lbs down, almost all my food is eaten (is that a word??) between 5pm and 9pm...I don't think your body cares what time it gets food
Is what a word? Eaten? Of course it is.0 -
