Eating after 19:00 Fact or Fiction

Eating after 19:00 isn't bad... It's the type of food you eat... Also, keep in mind you should eat last meal 2-3 hrs before bed...

it depends entirely on your lifestyle. If you go to bed at say, 8pm, then yes it is as your body is relaxing and shutting down ready for sleep so will not be burning calories as a raised rate (you still burn calories even when you're asleep. If you don't go to bed until 2am then it won't have a massive effect.

nothing wrong with eating at night... so long as the foods you eat don't upset your stomach or cause it to work so hard you sleep restlessly.
Some need to break the habit of eating late though as that may be when they are most apt to pig out even after do so well eating sanely all day. Snack attacks.

Eating at night though won't affect weight loss one way or another though so long as it fits within your daily food plan choices.

I have been told eating a little protein in the evening, before bed, will help regulate blood sugar overnight (some diabetics have high morning blood sugar because the liver starts kicking out glucose after fasting for a few hours.) I have also heard that a little carbohydrate before bed can help you sleep better. Some people eat a little bowl of cereal a bit before bed.

If I eat a large meal and go to bed soon after, I don't feel good, but that doesn't have much to do with weight loss.

I think the people who swear by cutting off their eating at a certain time are successful at losing weight because they just stop consuming calories after a certain time. If you tend to snack late at night, you could eat a few hundred calories without thinking. If you don't put anything in your mouth after a certain time, you might save the calories you would have mindlessly eaten.
