Part One

After a week of following the principles of “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, I am down a few pounds but even more important I feel great.  It feels like I have been eating a LOT of food.  I haven’t felt at all deprived.  The diet even allows for a reasonable cheat day.  I have been eating healthy food that tastes great.  I don’t go back to the doctor until September, but I feel like the blood sugar will work itself out based on the food I’ve been eating, which fits into my doctor’s recommended guidelines.  

The bestselling author, Joel Marion, is a fitness expert and nutritionist who debunks the myths underlying traditional dieting and offers a simple, highly effective weight loss program. Joel has written several books about dieting.  When asked what inspired him to write “Always Eat After 7 PM“, he responded, “After authoring 6 best-selling books, it was glaringly obvious there were two 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.”

When asked what made “Always Eat After 7 PM” different from his earlier books, Joel said, “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.”

Basically, he has given me the tools to eat well and stay satisfied while losing weight and getting healthier.  As I mentioned in my last post, I have had success with losing weight in the past, but have not found a sustainable diet.  After reading the book, I now understand why.  “Fact is, most diets are extremely narrow with regard to food choices and variety, and many even limit entire macronutrients altogether over the course of the entire program (think low-carb and low-fat diets). Three months with no carbs? No thanks. Such practices not only are entirely unnecessary, but make for a miserable, unsustainable experience.”

The “Always Eat After 7 PM” plan consists of: The 14-day Acceleration Phase to kick-start the program and see rapid results, The Main Phase, where you’ll learn exactly which foods to eat when to achieve your weight-loss goals, and The Lifestyle Phase to keep the weight off for good.  With a little advanced planning, I found it easy to follow through with the plan.

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 it here.
