Just wondering!! What time does everyone stop eating at? I was always told not to eat after 8, Is this true?

    I stop eating while I'm sleeping. It's messy and dangerous to eat while sleeping. Any other time is fair game.

    After dinner, kitchen gets cleaned up and lights go out! If I get a craving I try to curb it with green tea... This seems to work for me lately!

    Usually suck down a protein shake at 10:30pm. Then its night night time.

    There's no cutoff for eating. Eat when you're hungry and stay with your goals.

    I set my alarm for 3am and order a Meat-Lovers pizza from Dominoes. After that, it's nothing until sunup.

    There is no rule, that's just a marketing ploy set out to sell super complex diet programs and supplements. Just eat less calories in a day than your body requires to maintain its weight and you will lose body fat regardless of what time of the day/night you eat. Keeping in mind that if you stress when you eat at night, your cortisol levels raise and your body basically tries any way (binge eating usually) to compensate for the restricted calories.

    Keep it simple and do it slow for it to stick. Don't overthink it and don't overdo it :D Hope you listen ;)

    ^ That, or when you fall asleep. Whichever comes first.

    I have to be careful about crumbs in bed.they wake me up. I have to stop eating before getting in bed. But drinking in bed is fine.

    Since I don't go to bed til midnight pretty much every night & sometimes later on the wknds, my week day cut off is 930pm or around there unless something happens & I miss it then I still allow myself a snack. I am not super strict about it but do try my best to stay in that range. On the wknds I aim for 10:30pm bc we often watch movies & like to have something while we do. After that point I drink water until breakfast (usually 9am) the next day.

    okay this is hysterical. I actually quit around 8. Brush/floss and done. Not sure it matters just habit so I don't feel all bloated in the morning.
