This post is brought to you by my sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.
Eating healthier and achieving my health goals are some of my top resolutions this year. If you read my last blog post on what I’m doing to get healthier this year, you would know that I’ve been reading “Always Eat After 7 PM” by Joel Marion and have been sticking to his tips. Continue reading for ways I’m planning to achieve my health goals this year.
There are many benefits to this diet/lifestyle change. Some include, increase in energy, weight loss, healthier eating, and increased overall happiness. With these benefits in mind, it makes me want to achieve my health goals.
Bestselling author, Joel Marion, is a fitness expert and nutritionist. He is debunking the myths underlying traditional dieting and offers a simple, highly effective weight loss program. Joel Marion answered a few questions in regards to why he wrote this book. Plus, there’s a bit more about his story below.
Q1: 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. This can be used by any person to quickly achieve their weight loss goals.
Q2: 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 at 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.
Q5: 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 7 pm works because it caters to our body’s natural instincts.
This all sounds great to me, especially the part about how easy the plan is to follow. In my opinion, there’s nothing worse than trying to follow a diet/lifestyle change that’s too complicated and doesn’t match with our body’s natural instincts as Joel said.
What makes it easier to achieve your goals with this book is how Joel provides recipes to follow. These recipes are easy to recreate (and delicious too). I find having tangible tips and recipes makes it a lot easier. This enables me to actually change my behaviours and enhance my lifestyle.
My Thoughts:
I also appreciate how Joel gives you alternative options to choose from. Especially, if you don’t want to immediately start intermittent fasting and want to ease into it instead.
This is a quote from the book that really made me think: ” “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.”
I’ve definitely got a long way to go, but it’s a good start.
