In a nutshell, this diet plan was an eye-opener. It is not a diet plan, it is a lifestyle change that will make you love your body and your food even more. Unlike other diets, 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.  

SOME OF THE LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT I’VE MADE.

I now do Intermittent fasting as suggested by the book. Early on it was hard, but now it’s a part of me. “Going without breakfast is part of intermittent fasting (IF), also called time-restricted feeding (TRF). It is a pattern of food consumption that cycles between fasting and eating in specific time periods. There are various ways to do it; one of the most common is the 16/8 protocol, which involves 16 hours of fasting—typically done overnight—with an 8-hour window in which to eat each day.”

My water intake has increased. Water helps digest your food, expels waste, regulates your temperature, protects your tissues, cushions your joints, and protects your spinal column, among many other vital functions. It is through water that hormones flow to the proper organs, that nutrients reach all cells, and that toxins are diluted and removed from the body. One of the simplest 3-Minute Fat-Burning Morning Rituals, a few drops of lemon in a glass of warm water mixed. This drink provides all the benefits of regular drinking water, which supports weight loss, digestive health, physical performance, and cognitive function.

I eat less carbs during the day and try to pack up more in my last meal of the day. “Having carbs in the evening is a great weight loss strategy. When you’re active, your body burns mainly carbohydrates and muscle glycogen for energy. By eating carbs at night, you allow your body to use them to restore glycogen for energy the next day and provide your body with the glucose it needs to regulate your blood sugar levels during sleep. Avoiding carbohydrates and restricting calories later in the day can have an adverse effect on your thyroid hormones, which plays 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 eat a protein-rich diet now. Scientists have established that consuming at least 20 grams of protein stimulates muscle protein synthesis for two to five hours after eating a meal. However, recent research also shows that protein synthesis drops to unexpectedly low levels during sleep, even if you eat ample protein during and after evening exercise. This has led researchers to speculate that this process may fall off during sleep if you don’t eat protein prior to bedtime. So pack on as much protein as you can.

Final Verdict– I have lost around 8 pounds and a few inches around my waist and my cheat area too. My clothes fit better, I am mostly in a better mood, I don’t get too crampy and bloated and it feels good overall. This diet really helped and I would recommend it to anyone looking to reduce weight and keep it off forever.
