Thank you to 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  for sponsoring today’s post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

For those of you who read last week’s post, you know that I am currently trying a new diet called Always Eat After 7 PM.

I’ve struggled to maintain a healthy diet for the past few years, so I’m excited to give this realistic plan a shot.

I also love the idea behind Always Eat After 7 PM, and the fact that the book debunks a lot of popular dieting myths.

For example, 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 that 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.

According to the book, “Late-night eating also curbs calorie intake the next day. In a four-week study, dieters added a snack to their daily regimen 90 minutes after dinner every night, and check this out: late-night eaters ate an average of 397 fewer calories per day.”

For me, just being able to continue eating carbs and also have my late night snack gives me faith that this is a plan I can actually stick to for the long run.

A lot of people give up on healthy eating because the plan they are trying to follow is too restrictive and not realistic for everyday life.

This is why I’m so excited to try Always Eat After 7 PM.

To dive a bit deeper into the idea behind Always Eat After 7 PM we also have an interview with the author, Joel Marion, today.

I hope you enjoy learning more about the book and the way this diet works!

Hi Joel! Getting right into the interview — I’m curious. 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.

 That makes sense. How long did it take for you to develop the diet?

It actually took several years of researching for me to discover the real science of eating late night. After a few years of tweaking and refining, I finally came up with a rapid fat loss solution that overcomes all the pitfalls of traditional diets.

How difficult do you think the Always Eat After 7 PM plan is 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.

What was the most surprising discovery when you were researching scientific data for the diet?

That almost everything my college education and certifications taught me was NOT grounded in published scientific research.

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.

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.

Make sure to come back next week for the next installment in this series, where I’ll be sharing exactly how the Always Eat After 7 PM plan has been working for me!
