Eat After 7pm Update:  GOALS

Eating less sugar

Eating less carbohydrates

Gaining energy

Feeling better about my overall health

I find when I’m up and about running around or getting exercise I generally FEEL better.  Not necessarily to look better, but to feel better.  Taking Heidi on stroller walks around the neighborhood and keeping a routine schedule have helped me accomplish my goals.  I’m always hungry later in the day and this diet caters to people like me.  You can still eat later and even before bed.  You can even have your favorite foods every day! This is definitely a “lifestyle” diet, and that’s what I prefer.  See post ONE & TWO for more info!

Here is a great exert from the book:

“Having carbs in the evening is also 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.”

You can also eat treats like these No Bake Salted Caramel Bars

At first glance, there’s no way something this delicious could be healthy—right? Wrong.  Packed with “friendly fats” and minimal carbs, this recipe makes for the perfect treat after dinner or even before bed.  The coconut oil and coconut flour offer a naturally occurring source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of fat that your body can easily absorb and burn as energy, which may aid weight loss. The pecans add an extra boost of healthy fats, plant-based protein, and fiber. Raw nuts have also been associated with reduced risk of heart disease and even deaths associated with cancer and diabetes. This combination of healthy fats will keep blood sugar at bay before bed (or any time of day), keeping your body in a fat burning environment. 

You can even freeze them well and keep them for snacking.
