It seems that you've already made up your mind OP...not sure why you even ask the question if you've already decided for yourself.
Really, it makes very little difference...your body doesn't reset and you don't turn into a pumpkin at midnight...but just do whatever it is you feel like you need to do.
I would personally think with PCOS that the composition of your diet would make a whole lot more difference than meal timing...but hey...whatever you want to believe.0 -

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.

This is just too funny for words!

Now google how long food sits in your large intestine, and you'll realize that when you go to bed, your digestive system is still working on food from the day before. The amount of time varies from person to person, but the average is about 30-40 hours for a meal to make its way completely through the digestive system.
If you have PCOS, speak to your doctor about your diet.0 -

People with PCOS generally are recommended to follow a low carb diet. Have you started looking it that approach?

I eat until I run out of calories for the day. That's usually right around bedtime

Nothing to do with weight loss really.
I have had sleep problems in the past. For people with insomina, it is often suggested that you limit or avoid certain things close to going to bed.
I've noticed that I generally feel better and sleep better if I do not try to sleep right after a large, heavy meal. A small snack is usually okay for me if I need it.
If you can eat a big, heavy meal before sleeping and it doesn't bother you that is great. As I wrote in my pp, I don't think it really matters what time a person eats.

Eating a chocolate bar right now just before bedtime.0

I usually eat dinner around 8:30/9:00 and I'm in bed by 10. It's never been an issue.
Same here. my last meal is usually 1300 calories.

I don't think it matters what time you eat but I wouldn't eat a large heavy meal just before going to bed. I think a small snack is fine though.
I have dinner at 7 pm and got to bed around midnight or 1am.
Thursday nights I eat dinner (usually fast food) around 9:30 and go to bed at 11. Never had a problem.
Good for you?
Not sure why you quoted me.
I did use the word I in my post instead of you, no one, or everyone. I spoke of my personal choice and what works best for me. (Mainly because of sleep problems) I also stated that I don't think the time you eat matters.
Have some fast food jumbo meal right before bed. I'll stick to a lighter snack. We'll both be fine I'm sure.-1 -
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).

This was an interesting link. Thanks for posting this. It's from 2009 so there may have been more developments on this front since that time.
It was a study done on a relatively small number of mice. They found that the mice that were fed during their "active" phase gained less weight than those who were fed during their "inactive" phase. They found that the mice fed when they were "inactive" had slightly lower levels of activity and ate slightly more.0 -
Keep in mind that some disorders turns all this advice on it's head. For instance, when I was diabetic my highest sugar numbers were the fasting number before breakfast. I was advised to try a bedtime snack with some protein in it, to keep my overenthusiastic liver from flooding my system with sugar I didn't need. Diabetics need to keep it all in balance. Now with diabetes in remission, I might have a snack early in the evening especially if I did not hit my calorie target. Otherwise I might not have anything after supper.0

I always eat late. If I don't, I get hungry before bed. Sometimes I don't even have supper until about 9 p.m. or so, and I'm usually asleep a couple hours later. Honestly, for me, it doesn't matter how late I eat. I've still managed to lose over forty pounds and have a late supper pretty much every night. And if it's not a late supper, then it's a snack. I don't buy into the not eating before bed, but that's just me. As long as you stay within your calories for the day, it shouldn't matter when you eat.

Two hours before bed. Only because I take a medication at bedtime that needs an empty stomach.0
