No eating 2 hours before bedtime
February 1, 2007
I got an email from my coach emphasising an important rule for weight loss. Stop eating two hours before you go to bed. NO CALORIES. For me, this means no eating after 8PM. This is going to be my primary dietary focus for the month of February.

enjoyed yor blog – good luck. As well as no cals after 8pm you should also try doing you morning commute to work on an empty stomach — train the body to use fat stores. You can have some foo when you get to work tho!

As chance would have it – I never eat breakfast until I get to work, around a couple of hours after I get up. I would love to say I do this as part of some strategy, but mainly I do it to maximize the amount of sleep I can get before I have to bolt for the shower and out the door.
And per my coaching, I always eat healthy oatmeal for breakfast. It’s good for your heart afterall…

Perhaps try Extend bars – they are very yummy and only 150 calores, 10 grams of protein. They keep your blood sugar level for 9 hours so if you have one between 7 and 7:30 pm it might help keep night time munchies and hunger under control. Lady Rose

Phil,
Just a comment on your “no cals afte 8 pm” problem. I would strongly encourage you to eat breakfast not long after you get up. Especially if you are going to restrict your later snacking/eating. Every time you eat, your metabolism receives a boost. Delaying eating in the morning just delays the boost. Also, you probably know that by not eating 2-3 hours before you sleep, you get your body into a “building” mode and not a “digesting” mode. This really helps to repair the damage done by your workouts. As a last resort, try bringing something with you to work and eating on the way home (I know, no distracted driving allowed! *L*).
Just my $.02
