Last week, I shared how I read Joel Marion’s book, Always Eat After 7 to help me re-think how I handle eating & the choices I make when it comes to the how, what and when’s of healthy eating. With so many eating myths out there, it was freeing to reset my mind on what is “right” when it comes to healthy eating and discover other ways that may work for me.

My Goals
Honestly, it has been awhile since “lose weight” has been the goal. I’ve become focused on getting stronger – both physically and mentally. Mentally, you ask? That means embracing what is beautiful about me, worrying less about the number on the scale and finding joy in the changes and the improvements I make. These days I focus more on finding ways to make my life choices a habit versus a trend so it’s not a struggle on a daily basis.
My goal with this book is to do just that – adjust my expectations so that I can continue to progress in my journey to a healthier and stronger me. I love that this book gives me easy recipes to follow and has me focusing less on eating my meals on a schedule and more on eating when it makes sense for me.
The most challenging times to curb hunger for me have been in the evenings. After a full day of eating, I would limit my evening intake based on how I behaved during the day. That feeling of limiting myself was always a struggle. 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.
From the book, “Having carbs in the evening is also a great weight loss strategy. When you’re active, your body burns mainly carbohydrates and muscle glycogen for energy. By eating carbs at night, you allow your body to use them to restore glycogen for energy the next day and provide your body with the glucose it needs to regulate your blood sugar levels during sleep.”
More from the Author
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.

What inspired you to write the book?
After authoring 6 best selling books it was glaringly obvious there were 2 huge misconceptions about dieting that needed to be exposed. The first is that you can’t eat late at night or before bed, which science now shows is NOT true. And second, you can’t eat large portions that satisfy your natural instinct. This book solves both these problems by providing an evidence-based, enjoyable approach to dieting that can be used by any person to quickly achieve their weight loss goals.
How long did it take for you to develop the diet?
It actually took several years of researching for me to discover the real science of eating late night. After a few years of tweaking and refining, I finally came up with a rapid fat loss solution that overcomes all the pitfalls of traditional diets.
What was the most surprising discovery when you were researching scientific data for the diet?
That almost everything my college education and certifications taught me was NOT grounded in published scientific research.
You’re a six-time best selling author, what is different about this book compared to your others?
Although many of the concepts are similar, the biggest difference is that you don’t have to deprive yourself of your favorite foods. You don’t have to deal with the burden of eating every few hours. And you don’t have to skip the carbs at dinnertime or avoid eating before bed.
How difficult is the Always Eat After 7 PM plan to follow?
It’s not. And that’s exactly why I wrote the book. While any diet is never truly easy, it can be more enjoyable and much easier to adhere to when you understand how Always Eat After 7pm works because it caters to our bodies natural instincts.
If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?
