Struggling With Weight Loss? You’re Not Alone!

Having babies seems to leave most of us struggling with weight loss, because well, you typically gain a lot of weight and lose energy in the process.

I am an advocate of loving your body no matter what shape or size, and at the same time, I know that in order to have the stamina to mom my active daughters, I need to keep my health at its best.

I love learning new habits to improve myself mentally and emotionally, but I’ve struggled with procrastinating my physical health.

For the next four weeks, I’ve decided to read “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, which is now available for purchase.

I received an advanced copy of this bestselling book and I am committing to using it as a self-care tool.

My goal is to fit into my pre-pregnancy outfits. You know I’m in that stage where you outgrow your pregnancy pants but your regular pants don’t quite fit, and you don’t want to buy new pants because it’s like admitting defeat. I know you get me!

What is Always Eat After 7PM?

I know you are intrigued by the name, so let me explain what the Always After 7PM plan consists of. It’s a 14-day Acceleration Phase to kick-start the program and see rapid results.

The Main Phase is all about learning exactly which foods to eat and when in order to achieve weight-loss and the Lifestyle Phase is about keeping weight off for good, and maximizing health benefits.

What I have read so far is eye-opening, especially in how it compares to how I thought diets worked.

I have never followed a diet before because they weren’t focused on my overall health and it was all about how you looked and not how you felt… about the destination, but not the journey.

I like that with Always Eat After 7PM you don’t have to avoid carbs, have an early dinner, and never eat before bed.

Joel Marion’s Always Eat After 7PM program makes dieting easy and eliminates 90% of reasons for resistance.

I’m Dominican and I love my rice and my bread- and well, I’m a night owl. Sometimes by choice, but mostly because I am a single mom and I have an infant baby.

Sleep is precious, so to be honest, it may be worth it to follow this diet just for the deep sleep inducing benefits alone!

Always Eat After 7PM is based on scientific research, and the author includes modifications that work really well for my lifestyle and the stage I am in!

The Always Eat After 7 PM system allows you to eat healthy without having to give up your favorite foods and allows fat burning without burning out.

This excerpt from the book may surprise you:

“Avoiding carbohydrates and restricting calories later in the day can have an adverse effect on your thyroid hormones, which play a major role in metabolism. When the thyroid fails to secrete enough of the hormones that control metabolism, this can trigger symptoms like fatigue, depression, weight gain, thinning hair, and dry skin.”

Here is a video about the scientific evidence of the diet from the author of Always Eat After 7 PM: Science:
