Always Eat After 7PM and Have More Energy

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

As a frequent traveler, I often go on a trip and walk several miles per day. When you have to walk up a couple steep staircases, but stop to take many breaks, you know something has to change. I’ve wanted to up my stamina/energy and get into better shape for years. I’d also love to look better in a bathing suit for when I hit up the Las Vegas pool each summer. When I was offered the chance to receive an advance copy 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 was absolutely ready to try it.


Like most other people, we were taught to avoid carbs, have an early dinner, and never eat before bed. But the fact is, the latest scientific research shows us this earlier model is not the most ideal. I have been living with the idea that eating after 7 PM was not a good thing and usually use that as a cut-off point for eating, unless it’s Friday or Saturday night, where we stay up later and often go to happy hour later in the evening.

I’m not generally a snacker either, but I love many high-carb foods. Imagine my surprise when I learned that this isn’t a problem at all. Joel says “Specific higher-carbohydrate foods (including berries and cherries) support your fat-burning metabolism while you sleep, providing your body with a steady stream of fuel throughout the night. The trick is knowing how to combine them with other evening and pre-bedtime fat-burning foods to fuel your metabolism as you sleep.”

I can eat something tasty at night and not worry about it negatively affecting my body? This was news to me, so I dove right in. I love food and I want to eat delicious food. Not traditional “diet” food. Nobody wants to eat a restricted diet or eat tasteless foods, and only get eat certain times of the day. When you "can't" eat, that's when you want it the most. I eat when I’m hungry, though I’ve trained myself to just go to bed if it’s too late to eat anything, but apparently, I didn’t have to do that. “What if it was okay to eat late at night? What if it was okay to skip breakfast? What if it was okay to snack on carbs at night?” Joel asked those questions and found the answers. I don't like to eat breakfast most days and I do eat most of my calories in the evening, and even though I’m healthy, I’d like to be healthier and also eliminate a few extra pounds.

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.  

I’d love to be able to be more active and not have to take a break climbing the many steps to get into awesome destination landmarks and buildings like the Philadelphia Museum of Art (where the famous Rocky steps are) or the Arc de Triomphe (the view from the top is phenomenal). In September, we visited Edinburgh where everything was up a huge flight of steps or a very steep incline. It was beautiful, but also difficult some days.

With Joel’s 14-day jumpstart plan, I can learn to eat better, but also in a normal way that doesn’t feel like I’m missing out. If you’re interested in getting healthier or losing some lbs, check out this video on the science behind the diet:
