Does anyone have a schedule they stick to that has helped them out? Example: no carbs after 7pm. No coffee after 10am...

Would love to hear what works for you!

Thanks,

Tracey

    I try not to eat after 7:00 pm, if I can help it. I usually go to bed around 9:30 or 10:00 so i don't want to eat that close to bed.
  • I heard it's rumored that "no eating after __pm" doesn't really do anything for our weight loss, but I beg to differ. I make sure all my meals and snacks are done by 7 pm on the weekdays and 8 pm on weekends (I'm busier on the weekends). If I'm feeling like I need a little sweet or something I make herbal peppermint tea and relax.

    Plus eating to close to bedtime for me causes some acid reflux (for some reason?).

    My friend who played professional Basketball and also coached at a Big 12 school said what they told them was if they wanted to gain weight was to eat within I think it was 30 minutes of going to bed, and if they wanted to lose to not eat at least an hour before going to bed. I try to stick with that. It works for me.
  • I hate going to bed hungry, I dont get any sleep. So i useally have about 50 cals of protein right before I climb in. It works really well.

    I must exercise before I eat dinner, otherwise I just don't - I get too lazy with full belly.
