Eat in a way that makes you feel best...your body functions 24/7, irregardless of when you eat.
I'm supposed to stop about 3 hours before lying down due to reflux, but I don't always.
Then you lie in the "what makes you feel best" ;P
Obviously, if it makes you feel yucky to eat so close to bed, dont.
The misconception that gets tossed around is "if you eat before you sleep you won't burn it off and it'll get turned to fat"
At least, that's what I've seen to nauseum on the boards.
If that were even remotely true, I'd have never lost 53 lbs. Or gotten to where I am now. I enjoy my Talenti pints watching anime right before bed and I'm not about to stop
Just had Talenti! Trying to decide to go back for 50 more grams with my remaining calories or not...
Must know flavor..... for science!
my favorite is chocolate peanut butter cup and sea salt caramel 
Those are my favorites too. I opted for the mediterranean mint for a little less cals. Not as good, but still yummy.
Mmmmmm, mint. I bought the gelato pops in that flavor and I think it's going to be my new thing. Tonight, though, was a Skinny Cow sandwich because I wanted to be a little conservative with my calories today.
They sell them in pop form? It's Talenti?
I've had the sea salt caramel pop...at first, I was skeptical because there's only 3 small pops in there but.... OMG LOVE!!
I eat pints in sittings, so husband compromised with me.... Edy's pumpkin pie ice cream quarts...last me three days for the price of one Talenti xD
Yeah, the three pops for $5 is a concern. For ice cream bars, I had been eating Magnum Mini Double Caramel, which has nearly the same calories (190 vs 200) and come six to a box.
I need to find out if Edy's makes a Slow Churned Pumpkin Pie. All that takes up my freezer is that and Talenti!0 -
To the OP: unless you have conditions like heartburn/acid reflux that affect you, it doesn't matter when you stop eating. Your body can't tell time.
This. I try to stop eating after 6:30 or 7 but that's purely due to the acid reflux. Before I was diagnosed I'd eat right up till bedtime and still lost weight just fine.0 -
I usually eat between 7:30 am and 430 pm. I am insulin resistant and have thyroid issues. I can eat more calories and lose/maintain weight if I keep myself in a window like this. But if I am out with friends or on vacation etc, I don't sweat eating later. I just usually will see a fluctuation in my weight for a few days. If I make it a habit, I have to decrease my daily caloric intake to lose or maintain. I choose to eat more in a shorter time span

Because your body takes 6-8 hours for your food to even go thru the stomach line so if you sleep then yeah lol but i trust what u say thanks !SherryTeach wrote: »I stop eating before I turn the light off to sleep, but not always. I generally have my last small snack with my before bed reading. It's my nighttime ritual. Where did you get the idea that food sits in your stomach all night? Just because you are asleep doesn't mean that all of your body processes go to sleep as well.

I eat dinner at 6pm. For no particular reason. I'm just hungry at that time.
But your body doesn't stop working while you sleep. If it did, it means you're dead.
I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. That tells me that my liver is still working in my sleep. If my liver is still working, why wouldn't my digestive track be?
There's also a reason why you weigh at your lightest in the morning. Because you have digested most of (if not all) the food of the previous day during the night.
Just logic.0 -
I personally don't eat after 7 because the bulk of my calories does come with dinner and going to sleep with a very full stomach often makes me nauseous. Other than that, I try to lay off the sodium in the evening as to avoid waking up bloated and puffy.0

I was listening to The Gist podcast on Slate yesterday and they were discussing this study (have to pay for more than the abstract). The results of the study are that timing DOES in fact matter in weight loss. But it's not absolute (as in, eat by 7pm), but more as it aligns to your individual body clock (circadian timing).

I stop eating different times each day. It all depends on the day. My husband and I eat dinner together no matter what. Sometimes it's at 6pm, sometimes it's at 10pm. It all depends when my husband gets out of work. He never has the same schedule!0

I usually save enough calories for a nightly snack (usually ice cream or popcorn) and I have that around 9pm.0
-
I try to make it a hard-and-fast rule to stop eating around the time I start snoring.0
-
Hell, I'm not even home by 7 on most nights...
I usually eat dinner around 8:30/9:00 and I'm in bed by 10. It's never been an issue.0 -

Remember, as you savor each bite...it's all in the name of science! I've seen it but never tried it. May have to get a pint when I get paid again.
the sea salt caramel is like an orgasm in your mouth.
Why would you buy food that tastes like spunk that?0 -

Because you presented the information as if it were significant. We're trying to understand the significance.0
