Has anyone had luck losing weight this way?!


Question:

Has anyone had luck losing weight this way?

I saw a documentary where this woman said she lost over 100 pounds by simply changing the timing of her meals. She ate most of her calories before 1pm and stopped eating altogether by 5. Does this really make a difference you think? Anyone try this?


Answers:

I know your body digests food better when it's eaten in the morning. And I also know night snacks are most of the reason people gain weight.

I try to finish eating before 6 (including dinner) and I usually lose 1 1/2 pounds a week rather than just 1 a week (eating after 6). I guess it does work, something to do with the digestive system.

However, I would spread your calories out more because if you eat too much in the morning you may be tempted to eat more in the afternoon. Here's how I try to spread mine out.

10AM - Breakfast, 300 - 400 calories
12PM - Snack, 30 - 200 calories
2:30PM - Lunch, 300 - 500 calories
4PM - Snack, 30 - 100 calories
5:30PM - Dinner, 400 - 600 calories

That way your calorie intake is more balanced throughout the day.
