Oh man, I can't do that. I would only be able to do that if I went to bed at 8:30. Good luck to you.

I think not eating after 8 is a great thing to do. It stops you from those late night bad foods you tend to go for. I have done this lately and it really helps. Plus I go to bed feeling satisfied with myself and I have no indigestion. Sugar is such a late night after dinner problem and by not eating after 8, you pass a lot of that by. Good work! Don't quit this. As a matter of fact, I think I will join you in this and do the same thing.

I dont stop eating at a certain time, I just make sure that if I DO eat after supper that its healthy and high in fiber foods. I usually have my Fiber One cereal before bed. Fills me up and helps me sleep for some reason, I'm sure its most likely the milk. Good luck! And NO cheeseburger! lol

I am trying the same thing of not eating after 8 pm. I have had a few slip ups, but usually I can do it.

Great luck to you!

I also quit eating hours before bed, usually by 7pm. I may get away with it because I do some form of excercise after 7pm and it stifles my appetite. Usually go to bed after midnight. Works for me!

it isn't about when you eat, but it's about WHAT you eat! If you eat chicken tenders and a carton of icecream before 8 pm you won't lose anymore weight compared to if you were to eat that same thing after 8 pm...

The only thing the whole "stopping before a certain time" does is make people stop eating in general...this could make you lose weight if you eat mindlessly while watchin late night tv which is easily done. However, if you are needing more calories in your day or are truely hungry, then you should eat a snack or something and not deprive yourself!

That sounds difficult! I tried to promise myself the same thing, but I simply cannot do it. Good luck. :D
