    hello you are supposed to eat before 7pm because if you eat before 7pm it gives your body a chance to digest your food ,your metabolism is faster before 7 ,hope this helps xx

    what?

    How does your metabolism know what time it is?

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

    thats what your internal clock is for....I thought everyone knew that...just like the intestines know that it is 8:00 and time to punch out for the day...

    I hate it when I eat a cheeseburger after 7pm and then the next morning sit on the toilet and poop out a completely intact cheeseburger because my body didn't digest the food I ate. Don't you hate it when that happens?

    The good news is that since none of it gets digested you can eat anything you want after 7pm , even 10,000 calories in a sitting, without gaining weight.

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

    To the first question, I usually eat right up till bedtime, which is around 10:30 on workdays and varies when I don't have to work the next day.

    As to the second question, how would I know if you were told that?

    OP...don't worry about what time of day you are eating...just focus on your calorie goal. So long as you are meeting your calorie goal, you'll be just fine. I eat dinner every night between 8PM and 9PM and hit the rack around 10...I've lost 25 Lbs or so in the past 5 months. No biggie.

    I stop eating before 8 pm. Usually, I've eaten dinner aroun 3:30 or 4pm. At around 7:30pm, after working out, I'll have a protein shake.

    I don't sleep well after eating a large meal and I lose better if I eat a light dinner. I think there are great reasons to stop eating at a certain time, or eat within a "window" (like IF). Find what works for you.
