How late do you eat?

[Tina]

Hi All~

I'm wondering if anyone here tries not to eat after a certain time in the evening, and if so whether that's been a successful weight-loss strategy. Or do you just eat whenever you want as long as it's MWL-approved?

I know some nutritionists suggest not eating within 3 hours of bedtime, since a lot of people tend to make poorer nutritional choices later in the evening. I'm still waiting for my copy of MWL to arrive, so I don't know if Dr. McD has an opinion on this or not.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I don't worry about it but I do have a personal cut off point for the evenings. It happens to be 8pm and I use that number so that when my blood testing time comes around (every three months at the moment), I don't have to think about making sure I have fasted for the right number of hours needed for the test. But once I don't have to do these tests (read I will no longer need the meds!), then I reckon I won't care.

Now all that being said, if I am truly hungry (not just kinda sort peckish) then I will eat something as going to bed when the tummy is rumbling that much is no fun!

I eat when Im hungry. However, I have found if I dont eat past say 7 in the evening, I lost more.

I try and not eat after 9p.m. Sometimes 9:30p.m. I get to sleep quite late sometimes, so by then my stomach is growling. I always ignore it, and just go to sleep. If I do give in and eat something, then I am up for hours afterwards.
I always lose more weight for the week and sleep better by ignoring the growling monster within.

Don't worry about that either. Just eat when you are hungry and you'll do fine.

I do worry about it for reflux. So I try not to eat for 3 hours before bed. But like tonight I woke up worrying about something and I am starving so I made some oatmeal and now I need to go get a tum. sigh...

I can't be hungry when I go to bed, nor can I sleep if I'm too full. so if I need something I eat, so I feel just right.

I do my best not to eat after 6pm. If I need to snack Ill have a 100c popcorn pack.
