    My sister-in law is a trainer. She has a degree in nutrition as well. She has been helping make changes to get my health back on tract. He advice to me was do not eat after 7pm. Also she suggested no carbs past 3pm. Now all of this is easier said than done !! I am battling sugar addiction, and that is what I want to concur first !! Keep me posted as to your success !!

    Mind if you share what degree? I want to know what nutrition degree holders I'd like to avoid.

    I was just gonna come in and post a "DON'T DO IT!!!!" comment cuz, y'know, feet are kinda important. But then reading the responses I started laughing so hard I choked on my apple and my coworkers had questions. I think it's about time to go home...

    I typical eat 75-80% of my calories after 7pm. To be exact from 8:00-10:00pm, then go directly to bed.

    I don't think it matters what time you cut of fyour foot as much as where you cut off the foot. If you cut above the ankle, you will lose more weight.

    Best typo of the day, dude.

    Thank goodness this was a typo. Some people will do anything to lose a pound.

    If your body is hungry, feed the machine. Just have some restraint and count your calories.

    Eat whenever you want. Meal timing is irrelevant.

    I think cutting your foot off will impede your ability to exercise, at least for a while. If you insist, though, I would recommend doing it between the hours of 9am and 5pm, as there will be more staff in the hospital.

    In for "most hilarious typo ever".

    And no, it doesn't matter when you eat, unless it affects how well you sleep. You body cannot tell time.

    I actually have a friend whose foot WAS cut off, by a lawn mower. She would absolutely find this amusing, no question.

    Seriously. I laughed.


    I like eating a lot of calories in the evening. When my husband is deployed I eat over half of my calories after dinner. But to compensate I have a smaller breakfast and lunch. Whatever allows you to stick to your calorie goal is what you should do.

    Foot: never a good time to cut off.
    Food: I eat 12pm-8pm I practice lean gains IF. Sometimes I go to bed at 9:30pm, sometimes 12:30am. Meal times don't affect weight loss or gain. Calories in vs. calories out affects weight loss or gain.

    I think the reason why ' foot cutoff' works is because after 7pm is when many people eat snack food / dessert type food (ie high calories, high fat food) -- and with the cutoff, they are skipping those foods.

    So it is not the TIME that makes the difference, it is just the reduction in calories.

    I've been on diet plans before where they recommend not eating past a certain time. I've read books that say late at night is the worst time to be eating since your body doesn't need the energy (as opposed to earlier in the day when you'll still be active and need that fuel).

    I've tried to cut out late night eating since that's when I tend to binge eat. But sometimes I find it heard to make sure I have an early dinner! Especially if I stay at work past a certain time I may not get home in time to start making dinner until 7pm let alone eat before then. Or if I'm meeting friends for dinner plans we rarely eat before 8pm. I think if I suggested an earlier dinner time they'd all look at me like I was crazy haha. Does anyone have suggestions on what works for me? Do you bring your dinner to work too so that you ensure you eat before it gets too late? I'd love some tips, thanks!

    My fiance never likes to eat later in the evening because he can't sleep with a full stomach. If this is your reason, then I agree. If it's some type of strategy to lose weight, then it's simply not true.

    I have and still do eat a decent snack in bed every night without fail. I can't sleep if I'm hungry.
