    Guys my point is to not eat after 4 or 5 pm. Have a heavy breakfast and lunch but don't have anything heavy after 5 pm. Just have some fruits and that's all. Enjoy ur weight loss. No diet plan stays in action forever u have to change the things in ur diet every few months. Enjoy ur weight loss. Love live long life.

    Wait...is it 4 or 5? I was all set for a 4pm cutoff but now I'm super confused. Also, I boiled my red beans. Will that make me lose more or less than 5 pounds. I've also prepped 200g of cashews and 250g of mango for my 6pm snack. More nuts? Less? I'm really struggling here.

    Never boil your beans. You are doing it all wrong :noway:

    I have known people that quit eating between 4 and 6 and had better success at losing weight. They tend to eat less and more mindful as to what they are eating. The people I know who do this have done it long term. You ask what does the time have to do with it...well it has a lot to do with it. If you quit eating early, it gives your body a chance to burn the calories and not sleep on them. Also, if you suffer from heartburn or indigestion, most doctors will tell you to quit eating 3 hours before bed... It's never good to go to sleep soon after eating...Why so hard on pas? If you work nights or up most of the night, that would be a different story.

    Ok, now I am REALLY confused. First, he said after 4pm to have small meals with steamed beans, onion, green pepper, tomato, but then he says to only eat fruits after 4 or 5pm...?

    I think I am doing this all wrong. :(

    I DON'T HAVE ANY PEPPERS!!!!! I'M DOOMED!!!!!

    Red onion or white?

    DON'T EAT ANYTHING WHITE!!! He cut out white food too. If you eat a white thing you'll gain back 5lbs instantly.

    I sometimes eat at 3am if I'm not sleeping well

    Is that within or outside your rules?

    Here's my first week of weight loss from several years ago. More than 5 lbs in the first week. I followed pretty much none of this advice. All I did was count calories.

    That's after 4 pm (or was it 5 pm?), so you'll probably instantly gain 6 or 5 pounds. But then again, the OP never told us what time the body reboots itself and forgets that it's after 4 pm (or was it 5 pm?) and makes it "before" again.

    This is all so confusing! Maybe I'll just keep a calorie deficit instead. ;)

    That doesn't sound like a balanced diet, and my blood sugar would crash in the evening. I'll pass.

    It'd definitely work for me. I get up at 8am, don't eat breakfast, get to work for 10.30am, don't get a break until 4pm have an hour and a half break, then work until 11pm. If I don't eat after 4pm I'd lose more than 5lbs a week. Sounds prefect (lol).

    Everyone else's point is that what you did is not magic in and of itself. Calories going in being less than calories going out is the only thing required for weight loss. What you did made that happen for you. But the "magic" is in the calorie deficit you achieved, not in the cutoff time, not in what you ate, not in changing things every few months.

    So people who work nights are totally screwed then? And they are destined to a short life span?

    If you're in deficit, you're burning calories. If you're sleeping you're burning calories (where do you think part of BMR comes from?) and the MAJORITY of those calories are fat calories. Truth.

    OP I am glad you found some success but neither your recommendation for not eating after 4pm or not eating any white foods is what caused you to lose weight. A calorie deficit is what is required to lose weight, and that can be achieved eating at any time of the day and foods that are any color of the rainbow...

    Also, losing 5 lbs in a week is not necessarily healthy or sustainable, it is primarily water weight.

    Sorry, but it's a bad point. Weight loss is just about calories in an out. One could surplus calories before 5pm and not lose weight. One could eat after 5pm in calorie deficit and lose weight. The point you're making is moot because you're relying on just eating less, which is the basis of weight loss.

    Guys I'll start from beginning. While back about 3 years ago I was about 199 pound and suddenly I wanted to drop my weight so I had this idea not to eat after 4 or 5 pm. If I had felt hungry I would just had a banana. Trust me guys it was not easy . But I still had good meals before 5 pm and I would sleep by 10 pm. I was doing this diet only for 5 days and on weekends I would have 3 meals even after 5 pm and late nite dinners. First week i lost 5 pounds and in 6 months my weight came down to 169 lb. After I was doing this on and off and after married i stop doing it cuzz I would go out more and eat late dinners. Then last year my weight came up to 185 and I started to get worry. So I came up with a new idea of dieting. I would eat only 3 meals and nothing between the meals. Example : morning just mcdonald oat meal with hash brown and small coffee , lunch: subway Multigrain flat bread with veggie and tosted together with no cheese, then at dinner around 8 pm i would add onions, green peper, tomatoes and red beans in a pan without oil . Have them cook for 10 to 15 min with lid on so it will be cooked with the steam. Every day I add different stuff like broccoli, black beans or mushrooms. So by doing this now my weight is 171 lb.
    The first diet I did so that I can drop the weight fast and then maintain it. On weekends I cheat ..I go out and have late dinners and enjoy. So my point is just eat very healthy from Monday to Friday and on weekends just enjoy the food. But don't go over board. I hope this diet works out for u guys. I don't have a set goal that I need to be a certain weight since my weight is on healthy Balance I just maintain my weight . So guys loose weight , feel great and enjoy life .

    But seriously. Vegan isn't supposed to be some weight loss fad diet and someone mentioned, there are overweight/obese vegans too.

    Predictable. Many people lose a lot of weight in the first week due to water fluctuations. It had nothing to do with not eating after any particular hour. Nothing special there.



    ...and in 6 months my weight came down to 169 lb....

    So you lost 30 lbs. in 24 weeks. Plenty of people have done that without worrying about meal timing or not eating after a certain hour (which have absolutely nothing to do with weight loss). Nothing special there.



    After I was doing this on and off and after married i stop doing it cuzz I would go out more and eat late dinners. Then last year my weight came up to 185 and I started to get worry.

    Predictable. You stopped eating at a deficit and gained weight. Nothing special there.

    So you established a caloric deficit and lost weight again. Predictable. Nothing special there, and it had nothing to do with how often you ate, or not eating after a particular time. And now you say you were eating dinner at 8 pm, which is beyond the 4:00 or 5:00 you originally stated, yet you were still losing weight? Does that tell you anything about the validity of not eating after a certain hour?



    So my point is just eat very healthy from Monday to Friday and on weekends just enjoy the food. But don't go over board. I hope this diet works out for u guys. I don't have a set goal that I need to be a certain weight since my weight is on healthy Balance I just maintain my weight . So guys loose weight , feel great and enjoy life .

    Firstly, that wasn't at all the original point you made. Secondly, you can eat "healthy" all week and still be in a caloric surplus and gain weight. If I "just enjoyed the foods" every weekend, I could easily wipe out the entire week's deficit in two days, and get absolutely nowhere as far as weight loss.


    To lose weight, you just need to eat less than you're expending. There's no magic to it. No special foods to eat, no time schedules for your meals, no cut-off hours for eating. If you take in 1500 calories and burn 2000 calories, you lose weight; if you take in 2500 calories and burn 2000 calories, you gain weight. It doesn't matter how many meals it took or when you ate it. People make weight loss a lot more complicated than it needs to be.
