Always Eat After 7PM - Goal Setting and Progress Update

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

I hope you've loved following along on my journey with following the Always Eat After 7PM plan! You can read more about why I started following this plan here, and more about the author, Joel Marion, here.

My goal with this plan was to have more energy to keep up with my kids. Now that we are together all the time, keeping them active and happy has been a big priority of mine. Before I started the Always Eat After 7PM plan, I would have a MAJOR afternoon slump, always wanting to take an afternoon nap. After consistently following the advice that Marion has outlined in his book, I can tell you that my days have been busier and my energy has never been higher! It's pretty incredible actually!

I think I've had great success with this plan because it is so easy to follow. The meal planning is so easy and Marion even includes food lists and helpful tips like this to set you up for success:

"One of the simplest 3-Minute Fat-Burning Morning Rituals, lemon water is a glass of water mixed with the juice of one half of a lemon. This drink provides all the benefits of regular drinking water, which supports weight loss, digestive health, physical performance, and cognitive function.”

Always Eat After 7PM also includes lots of tasty and eat to follow recipes. One of our families favorite is this Cheesy Ground Beef Skillet. It includes many foods that were traditionally thought to be "off limits" on some diet plans, but Always Eat After 7PM recognizes that the combination of protein and carbs, especially at dinnertime, helps regulate cortisol, help you sleep deeper, and wake up with more stable morning blood sugar levels. We’ve been traditionally taught to avoid carbs, have an early dinner, and never eat before bed. But the fact is, the latest scientific research shows us this earlier model is not the most ideal.

The most challenging times to curb hunger are just before bed and in the morning. By following the Always Eat After 7PM program, you have the most willpower to stay on the diet because you are eating during the hours when you are most hungry. This also puts you into both intermittent fasting increasing testosterone and your metabolism, while putting you into ketosis.  Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion is now available to purchase. Learn more about the book and how to purchase here.

Always Eat After 7PM - Why I am following this plan and my author interview

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

If you read my recent blog post, you know I have started following the Always Eat After 7PM plan based on the book with the same title by Joel Marion. Why did I start following this plan? I wanted more energy to keep up with my kids! I have been feeling so run down lately and after interviewing the author - I knew he was one that I could trust and relate to. We’ve been traditionally taught to avoid carbs, have an early dinner, and never eat before bed. But the fact is, the latest scientific research shows us this earlier model is not the most ideal 

After reading quotes like these in Marion's book, I couldn't wait to learn more about him and his reasoning's. “Always Eat After 7 pm is a three-phase program that teaches you how to lose big by strategically eating big when you are naturally hungriest—in the evening. This may sound too good to be true, but let me assure you it is no gimmick. It’s all about making strategic and smart food swaps, and you can still eat your favorite foods.”

These are excerpts from an interview with Joel Marion, author of Always Eat After 7PM:

What inspired you to write the book?

After authoring 6 best selling books it was glaringly obvious there were 2 huge
misconceptions about dieting that needed to be exposed. The first is that you
can't eat late at night or before bed, which science now shows is NOT true. And
second, you can't eat large portions that satisfy your natural instinct. This book
solves both these problems by providing an evidence-based, enjoyable approach
to dieting that can be used by any person to quickly achieve their weight loss goals.

 You’re a six-time best selling author, what is different about this book compared to
your others?
Although many of the concepts are similar, the biggest difference is that you don't
have to deprive yourself of your favorite foods. You don't have to deal with the burden
of eating every few hours. And you don't have to skip the carbs at dinnertime or avoid
eating before bed.

How difficult is the Always Eat After 7 PM plan to follow?
It's not. And that's exactly why I wrote the book. While any diet is never truly easy, it
can be more enjoyable and much easier to adhere to when you understand how Always
Eat After 7pm works because it caters to our bodies natural instincts.

Based on surprising science, Always Eat After 7 PM debunks popular diet myths and offers an easy-to-follow diet that accelerates fat-burning and allows you to indulge in your most intense food cravings: Eating the majority of your calories at night.

Always Eat After 7PM for More Energy? I'm In!

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

I recently picked up a new book that I'm really excited about - Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion. My energy levels have been at an all-time low lately, So much that I have had several blood tests done to see if something (iron levels, thyroid) weren't at their optimal functioning levels. While I workout out and try to eat healthy, I struggle big time with finding enough energy to make it through the day. I'm really optimistic that Always Eat After 7PM can help!

One quote that really resonated with me from the book was, “Avoiding carbohydrates and restricting calories later in the day can have an adverse effect on your thyroid hormones, which play a major role in metabolism. When the thyroid fails to secrete enough of the hormones that control metabolism, this can trigger symptoms like fatigue, depression, weight gain, thinning hair, and dry skin.”

I really love and appreciate the author's science behind his revolutionary diet approach. We’ve been traditionally taught to avoid carbs, have an early dinner, and never eat before bed. But the fact is, the latest scientific research shows us this earlier model is not the most ideal.
