I've lost 95lbs in the last year and I almost always eat after 7. I completely believe my body doesn't know what the clock says and time is irrelevant.8 -
If you normally eat 500 calories before bed, and you cut out eating after 7 an do not reintroduce those calories, then sure, it works. However, a calorie is a calorie any time a day. I rarely eat much during the day and consume most of my calories in the evening and night, and it hasn't slowed my weight loss as long as I am creating my calorie deficit.3

It's still personal preference. I just finished dinner, then about 9 or 9:30 I'll have dessert.1 -

That's interesting because I've lost 20 lbs over the last 5 weeks eating at all hours of the day.3 -
This thread has been here longer than I have. Impressive necro.9

I eat on a 16:8 schedule. It works for me. All of my calories are consumed between 2-10pm. I broke my plateau on this plan. I'm always hungry in the evening so adding earlier calories when I wasn't hungry just ruined my deficit.1

An Australian study just finished working on this very question. Many of the previous studies simply were observational. The Australian study had people specifically eat 700 calorie breakfast, 500 calorie lunch and 200 calorie dinner. Then another group was reversed with a 700 calorie dinner, 500 calorie lunch and 200 calorie breakfast with similar nutritional profiles like 100 grams protein.
Turns out even though they had the same calories in the big breakfast group lost more than twice as much weight.

this is one of the few studies that actually kept the nutritional profiles the same and didn't just do observational studies.

- It doesn't matter if you eat at 7pm, 10pm, 11pm, 2am, etc.
- You also don't have to eat every 2-3 hours.
- You don't have to eat 5-6 or 7 meals a day.
People don't magically lose more weight because they don't eat after a certain time.
They lose weight because they are eating a calorie deficit under their maintenance, and they continue to lose weight through plateau's by hitting their macros every day.
Are we STILL debating this fact?
This is exactly right. We lose by a calorie deficit, not when we eat.
However, if it's your habit to eat a lot of snacks you don't really need after 7 pm, then by all means giving yourself a cutoff time would help you lose weight. By the same token, if you eat a lot of snacks in the car, saying no eating in the car would do the same thing.0 -
Week nights, I am usually not home until 8:30. I eat then. All good. Lost about 100 pounds total, kept it off for a couple years so far.
I think the "no eating after 7pm" rule is to help people from all the mindless noshing most do in the evening hours in front of the TV.1 -

I lost all my weight while snacking after dinner every single night. It makes no difference when you consume calories as long as it fits your daily allotment.0

And at the end of the article...
"The study was confined to obese women showing symptoms of metabolic syndrome, a condition that can lead to diabetes.
Further research is needed to see if a “big breakfast” eating pattern benefits other people."4 -

I'm most in shock at seeing niner posts without his signature!2 -
I lost 60 pounds. I often eat dinner around 7 - 7:30. I just finished my walk and I'm about to have some Greek yogurt. It is personal preference. Eating or not eating at any certain time of day won't hinder your weight loss as long as you stick to your deficit.1

Has this study been debunked?

I'm ashamed of myself for getting sucked into this necro thread.
I was even so confused about who all these posters were and how they got such high post counts without me knowing who they are.1
