If you're active & trying to lose weight, does it hurt to eat after 7 PM?!
Question:
If you're active & trying to lose weight, does it hurt to eat after 7 PM?
Normally I don't but I had to today because I was at the mall -- I didn't want fast food, and my parents want me to eat supper every day. Now I'm very anxious because I was told if you eat after 7 PM & once your exercise is done it'll cause weight gain/stop weight loss.
Is any of this true?
(I'm a recovering anorexic. I gained alot of weight even at my healthy weight because of anti depressants and now I'm trying to lose it. I still have alot of anxieties about food so this worries me alot more than it would the average person.)
If it matters at all, I run/jog daily, walk daily, and do sit ups/use my thigh toner/do workouts from magazines every second day. I don't eat alot throughout the day and I don't eat junk food or drink soda anymore.
Answers:
You're fine =) As long as you are eating properly it's not going to hurt if you eat a little later then usual.
If it really worries you, dance around for a little bit to burn off some calories.
