Does anyone follow the rule no food after 7 or 8? I have had success when I follow this rule. Wondering if anyone else sticks to it as well and has it worked for you?

    As long as you're within your calorie limit for the day, it doesn't matter what time you eat. It can be a helpful guideline for people who don't count calories, as it keeps them from mindless eating in the evenings.

    I agree! As a general rule I have to cut myself off at night because otherwise I will go overboard.

    It's hard to stick to when you get home from work at 6 but yes, it does work :)

    I think it can be helpful if you tend to overeat in the evening. I enjoy eating in the evening, so I save up my calories for it. :)
