Not eating past 8 pm

Allow yourself more calories at the end of the day and eat something after 8pm. It doesn't matter when you eat your calories, only the sum total of them matter in terms of weight loss.

Hey everyone,

I'm having a hard time resisting the urge to snack in the evenings. I'm so good all day and then I end up blowing it at night after dinner when I seem to want to eat EVERYTHING. I've been thinking about not allowing myself to eat anything after 8 pm. Teeth brushed, nothing else in my mouth. Has anyone on here done this before? Did you find it helped?

For me, I need to have something at bedtime as I don't sleep if I am hungry. But we do eat a little later, say 7:30, then I'll have a cup of hot skim with either a bit of honey or small amount of chocolate ovaltine. That works for me, but everyone is different. But I find it help me to do what others have suggested... I close my food log right after dinner with my bedtime snack added. That way if I am tempted to snack, I know I'll have to go in and open up my daily food log again. That gives me a reminder to stop.

I generally don't ... only cause it gives my body time to burn off that fat overnight due to the lack of available food.

Besides in the morning .. I am ready for breakfast after not eating for 12 hours and ready to kick start a productive day.
