Well i just think it's crazy to have a tbone steak at 8pm then be in bed by 9!! The longer u can stay up and work some of that off instead of falling off to sleep the better. Again not eating after 6 or 6:30 works for me..everyone is different. I'm currently on maternity leave so once i return to work and not get home until 5:30 obviously that time is going to change since i'll have to prepare supper. Also i sometimes even now workout at 7 or 7:30pm if i know i had a huge supper, whatever works for u i guess.

I try to not eat at least 2 hours before going to bed.
it only works if i actually fall asleep sometimes because if I stop to early I can not fall asleep with a grumbly tummy.
then waking up famished is no fun either.

ok a calorie is a no matter what time you eat it. and if you have a hard time sleeping like i do if you and go to bed hungry you will not sleep good and that not good

Yes i know a calorie is a calorie..think everyone knows that!!! my point in not eating too late is that if i eat 2-3 hours before going to bed that gives me 2-3 hours after a big meal to burn it off instead of going STRAIGHT to bed.

my brother lost a lot of weight when he startd to eat nothing past 6. i think im going to try this too

my cut off time has been 8 so far ill eventually try to move it up to 7 . 6 is not doable with me and my hubbys work schedule.
i wouldnt have time to fix food by the time i got home
but i can manage 7 possibly soon id prob have to eat and have his sitting in the microwave but gotta try something.
im starting to see results now and i wanna continue this.

That was my whole point!!! some people think this cutting food off at a certain time is crazy...but if it's crazy why does it work for soooo many people..including me!!!!! like i said before, it makes no sense to eat a t-bone steak and potatoes and then go to bed 20 min later, it will go to your hips i don't care who says it doesn't. Give yourself an hour or more to burn that off!!!!!!

well i guess the one good thing me eating after 630
well i did move it to 8 or so which is good i use to eat at like 10 or later
but atleast i dont go right to bed i usually dont go to bed till after 12am
so atleast i dont sleep on anything i eat after 630
but the 10 pm days are over for me ./

I am a night owl, I stay up until around 4am almost every night (that is the next problem I will try to conquer), but I eat my last snack around 9:30pm. I try not to eat after 10pm.

One night I ate supper at 7:30pm so I didn't want anything at 9:30pm and I don't eat after 10pm so when I went to bed my tummy was grumbly and I didn't feel good, when I got up the next morning I still felt bad. I decided from then on if I eat late and then I am actually hungry after ten, I will eat something, I never want to feel the way I felt that night again. This is working for me, if I quit eating as early as 6 or 6:30pm, I would be sick all the time.

I could not make my cut-off snack time that early. I wouldn't sleep well from being hungry. I eat healthy snacks and have lost 10 pounds so far doing so. It's important for me to not be hungry.

It doesn't matter when you eat. If you generally burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight regardless of when you eat them.

good Luck with that, it really works. I have lost about 64 punds and one of the things that has really helped is not eating after 6:00. I have been struggling lately and I have been eating later and have gained a few pounds. This week I am back to not eating after 6:00 except for light snacks. If you don't like apples, try sugar free pudding or No sugar added applesauce or No sugar added fudgesickles. These are some of my favorite snacks. Good Luck!!!

If you usually tend to snack and eat junk after 6:30, then perhaps not eating after that time will help you avoid those extra calories. However, not eating after that time is not some magical solution to weight loss. A calorie is a calorie, regardless of when you eat it. I agree with what many others have already said; depending on what time you go to bed 6:30 may be a bit early to stop eating. Best of luck.

I NOTICE IF I EAT EVERY 3-4 HOURS AND STAY WITHIN MY CALORIE INTAKE, I'M USUALLY NOT EVEN HUNGRY IN THE EVENINGS. HOPE THIS HELPS! KATHY

for all those that say it doesn't matter and a calorie is a calorie then go ahead and eat pizza, chips and cookies at 1am and do that for couple of weeks and see what happens!!!!!!!!
