    A calorie is not a calorie, but you can eat whenever you want.

    night eating packs on pounds. My cut off time is 7pm..... The scale notices!

    LOL...no, just no.

    I eat my entire dinner at 8:30/9:00 PM and go to bed at 10. I've lost 35 Lbs. Meal timing is irrelevant...I burn roughly 2600 calories in a 24 hour period...why the hell would it matter what time of day I ate them?

    My step-daughter told my wife that she shouldn't eat fruit after 2pm. My wife is going to be very happy to find out that the cut-off is actually at 8pm instead!

    I've lost 50 pounds, and I eat past 8 pm, and even later. Doesn't matter.

    lol not its not ok to eat ANYTHING after 8pm. it sits in your stomach and as you sleep your body spends time breaking that down instead of breaking down your fat because believe it or not you burn calories while you sleep

    *facepalm

    It's 11:16 PM and I've just had a half a watermelon as dessert, as it's a habit of mine.

    Has it hampered my body's ability to burn fat? I beg to differ.

    Yes, it's fine.

    BUT.

    I was told by a friend with a history of body building that eating too many carbs late at night before going to sleep will make it harder to shed those last few pounds. She also recommended eating more calories early in the day and before / after workouts.

    Your friend is wrong...regardless of her profession/hobby...still wrong.

    NO!

    If you are within your calorie goal, you will NOT gain weight!

    100% agree

    Yes. Just no food or water after midnight or you'll turn into a gremlin.

    I was always told that I shouldn't eat past 7 pm cause it automatically changes to fat. Very happy to know this is just another old wives tale. Bring on the fruit!

    This is 100% a myth.
    No, it's true! This is how you can produce free energy from the vacuum and turn a human body into a perpetual motion machine.

    Okay okay... I'm not a scientist... but what you're saying is, if I stop eating after 8pm, I'll never have to sleep?
    If you eat after 8PM, the energy from the food fuels your body during the night... and then during the day your body doesn't have that fuel so it pulls energy from the aether instead.

    Right this is common knowledge...and when your body does not have fuel it goes into starvation mode which can only be reversed by drinking one gallon of raspberry ketones...

    Okay... It's starting to come together... But I've heard that if you don't drink the raspberry ketones in 8 oz increments the excess fluits will automatically turn into fat molecules. Is this true? Or is it okay to drink the gallon all at once?

    ummm I just checked page ten of Dr Oz's raspberry ketone while doing handstand cleanse, and yes this is correct 8oz increments or the excess fluids turn into fat molecules which automatically converts your muscle to fat...and trust me, you don't want that to happen....

    Thanks for the laughter folks! :)
