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
If you’ve read my other blog posts about this book you would know that I really LOVE this book, and that it’s really helped me feel so much better!
I love this book, it has helped me so much in the past month! I have felt better than ever, and know that I’ll definitely keep using this book as a reference! I think everyone should get this book and read it. If you want to feel better overall, then this is definitely the book for you!
Bestselling author, Joel Marion, is a fitness expert and nutritionist debunking the myths underlying traditional dieting and offers a simple, highly effective weight loss program.
“Research shows that the average person’s metabolic rate is no different during sleep than during the day. In short, your metabolism doesn’t slow down at night. Nor does your body store fat at the end of the day. Whether it’s 8 am or 8 pm, you use food for energy the same way.”
Joel Marion’s Always Eat After 7PM program makes dieting easy and eliminates 90% of reasons for resistance.
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.
“A research paper published in Sports Medicine in 2014 showed that people who eat the majority of their carbs at dinner actually sleep better. Carb-induced, quality sleep decreases cortisol (a fat-storing hormone) and ramps up the production of your sleep hormones, serotonin and melatonin. Restorative sleep increases fat-burning hormones—the main one being growth hormone—overnight.”
Always Eat After 7 pm is a three-phase program that teaches you how to lose big by strategically eating big when you are naturally hungriest—in the evening. This may sound too good to be true, but let me assure you it is no gimmick. It’s all about making strategic and smart food swaps, and you can still eat your favorite foods.
Fact is, most diets are extremely narrow with regard to food choices and variety, and many even limit entire macronutrients altogether over the course of the entire program (think low-carb and low-fat diets). Three months with no carbs? No thanks. Such practices not only are entirely unnecessary, but make for a miserable, unsustainable experience.”
In general, healthy fats can also help increase feelings of fullness and satisfaction because they regulate appetite through a number of mechanisms, including the release of appetite hormones. What’s more, combining fat with fiber has been shown to further increase the satiating potential of fat. The satiating power of fats is often one explanation offered to describe why some weight loss trials have shown that low-carbohydrate (and higher-fat) diets tend to lead to greater weight loss than low-fat diets.
The Always Eat After 7 PM plan consists of: The 14-day Acceleration Phase to kick-start the program and see rapid results, The Main Phase where you’ll learn exactly which foods to eat when in order to achieve your weight-loss goals, The Lifestyle Phase to keep the weight off for good.
So, I thought I’d go ahead and Share one of my favorite recipes for you guys Right out of the incredible ‘Always Eat After 7 PM’ book! :) It’s a super tasty one! Let me know your thoughts!
Chili Loaded Baked Potato Recipe + Interesting story— straight out of the ‘Always Eat After 7 PM’ book by Joe Marion
How in the world can a chili loaded baked potato be healthy?
It’s really simple when you use this delicious recipe hack.
It’s the perfect combination of macronutrients to help stabilize blood sugar and regulate your cortisol cycle keeping your body in fat burning mode.
Combining the protein, carbs, and fiber together is a perfect balance to increase energy levels, without the normal crash associated with higher carb meals.
As for the much-maligned white potatoes, if you’re paranoid that eating them will make you fatter, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear this true story: After the USDA proposed eliminating the potato from federal feeding and nutrition programs, 45-year old Chris Voigt (Executive Director of the Washington State Potato Commission) decided to protest.
So he ate nothing but 20 potatoes per day for 60 days straight. What happened will probably shock you. Even though Chris was not attempting to lose weight, he did. Not only that, he had dramatic improvements in other areas of his health as well.
These numbers indicate that Chris dramatically reduced his risk for heart disease and diabetes eating nothing but potatoes. His health improvements were in fact far greaterthan what we normally see from drugs and many intensive lifestyle programs—after eating only high-carb potatoes for 60 days.
While I would never recommend an all-potato diet for anyone, it proves once and for all that in spite of all the bad press, starchy vegetables like potatoes, do not make you fat - as long as you cook them in a healthy way and don’t pile butter, sour cream, cheese, creamy sauces, on top or them—or deep fry them.
Potatoes also supply your body with 100 percent all-natural glucose. Every cell in your body, even your brain, utilizes glucose. In fact, glucose is one of the oldest evolutionary fuels on the planet. Our bodies have been using glucose as a primary fuel source since the caveman days. And get this: On average, only 1 out of every 120 calories from glucose gets stored as fat.
So 95 percent of the time your body burns up glucose immediately after you consume it. Glucose from potatoes has also has been shown to suppress your hunger hormone ghrelin to help you crush late night cravings without fat storage.
Roast them. Bake them. Fry them in small amounts of healthy oil. Add them to soups, scrambles, or just have them as a side dish.
When I’m really hungry I like to serve homemade chili over freshly baked sweet potatoes…divine! A lighter option is to serve it over spaghetti squash or sautéed zucchini or baked butternut squash noodles. Or just eat it as is out of your favorite big mug!
Quick Tip: Are you generously seasoning every recipe that you make with freshly ground sea salt and black pepper? Taste and season often while cooking. I find that many people are afraid to properly season their homecooked meals, resulting in a dish that just isn’t as flavorful as it should be. Be courageous with that salt grinder!
