It has been a goal of mine to get back to pre-baby weight. I was able to do it after my first pregnancy within six months through eating well and moderate exercise. But that was definitely not the case after my 2nd child, and she’ll be turning five this August. Yikes! Over the last few years, I’ve worked out really hard, followed strict meal plans, and tried several different dietary lifestyles. Unfortunately I haven’t even close to my goal. And to make matters worse I even gained 10 lbs last summer.
So when I was offered the chance to receive an advance copy of 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, I jumped at the opportunity. Over the next month, I’ll be sharing my thoughts and experiences from the book and diet. And hopefully by the end, I will also be closer to my goal once and for all. In a nutshell, the Always Eat After 7 PM plan consists of: The 14-day Acceleration Phase to kick-start the program and see rapid results, The Main Phase where you’ll learn exactly which foods to eat when in order to achieve your weight-loss goals, The Lifestyle Phase to keep the weight off for good.
Um, yes please!
Right from the get-go in Chapter 1, Joel Marion, who is a fitness expert and nutritionist, explains the premise of his book. Based on surprising science, Always Eat After 7 PM debunks popular diet myths and offers an easy-to-follow diet that accelerates fat-burning and allows you to indulge in your most intense food cravings: Eating the majority of your calories at night. He tested his theories on himself and achieved amazing results – 46 lbs lost in 16 weeks, flatter abs and increased energy. His doctor was even shocked on how quickly his numbers on his blood work results improved.
But this is what really spoke to me and what I wanted to learn how to implement into my lifestyle:
“Always Eat After 7 PM is a three-phase program that teaches you how to lose big by strategically eating big when you are naturally hungriest—in the evening. This may sound too good to be true, but let me assure you it is no gimmick. It’s all about making strategic and smart food swaps, and you can still eat your favorite foods.”
Losing 20 lbs and getting back to pre-baby weight is my ultimate health goal. I know it may sound superficial, but by achieving that goal I will achieve so much more. I know I’ll have more energy to keep up with my 6 and 4 year old, but more importantly I’ll regain some confidence I have lost. And that’s why I’m putting a concrete number out there. I’m excited to dive into 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, and I’ll post an update next week. So stay tuned and I’ll let you know my experience. Or better yet, join me and we can do this together!

This is such an interesting theory, and it sounds like a great read! Thank you for sharing, and I look forward to hearing about your journey 🙂
Thanks for stopping by the blog Karley. I definitely love the author’s concept of why you should always eat after 7pm. I’m happy when I’m not told I can actually eat. 🙂
