No food after 6 p.m.!!!

[BaDKiTTy69]

I heard a lot of people are loosing weight by not eating after 6 p.m.
This Monday was my lucky day to start doing the same thing. I weighted myself on Monday morning – 130lbs. I need to lose at least 10 lbs, but preferably 15.

Today its 128.5lbs, maybe its working or maybe its just a coincidence. But I will keep doing it.
Everybody is welcome to join me. I think it will be more fun and easier to do it if we do it together.

Count me in! I've done this in the past and it DOES work. I sorta started doing that 2 weeks ago but I've cheated like on the weekend.

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

Cool, glad to hear that I am not alone.

Yeah, I think its impossible not to cheat at all. Cause sometimes you have to go to some events after 6 p.m. and people will look at you if you are not eating a thing. I think its ok to cheat once in a while.

So you continue to eat normally, just not after 6:00 pm?

Sorta lol

What i started two weeks ago was this: add lots of water all day

Breakfast: banana or some sort of fruit and coffee

Lunch: Ensure drink

Snack: nuts

Dinner before 6 pm: whatever but smaller portions

In the first week I dropped 2 1/2 lbs

Its better to eat less for dinner, stop eating bread and sweet stuff. But I had cheesecake

and still lost 1.5 in 3 days. Today Im planning to have only a nice big salad for dinner and thats it. Will see how its gonna work.

I'd suggest you add some sort of protein in your salad. You need it.

Cheesecake is ok! I love sweets and thats my problem.

With eating before six and less portions your stomach will shrink (i dont know if this is true, but it feels like it) and you get full faster, eat less and its easier to do it as the days pass.

n_c, I had some feta cheese in my salad.

I have same problem with sweets. I can always say "no" to pretty much anything, but chocolate. BTW did you loose anything since 2 weeks?

Cheese....yummy!!!

This is basically my third week in, this week alone I've lost only 1/2 a pound. Im happy with that though.
Today and every Fri. my boss buys me lunch so its hard to resist and say "no thanks" so yes today for lunch I'll have whatever I want

small portion of course.

Sounds good! I had grilled salmon and avocado for lunch today. Have no clue what to have for dinner.

And my weight today same as yesterdays.

Neat idea

I'm on board!! I want to lose 15lbs

 

[KikiB]

That's an idea I have considered but I can't eat breakfast or anything before having been awake for a couple of hours so it wouldn't work out terribly great. Heck, I eat breakfast (anything in the morning) maybe once a month since I have zero appetite.

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

Welcome girls!

 

[k.a.t]

Oh my goodness! Iam so in!!!

I have a very weak self-will though

is it hard?

Kiki, even if you have no appetite, try eating just a little bit anyway. Once your body gets used to having breakfast, you'll actually want breakfast in the morning. I used the be the same as you, but now I have to eat breakfast or I get cranky, lol!

I'll be re-starting my weight loss journey shortly (been on a little hiatus), but I'm going to try a couple of other things before I do this. I already have a hard enough time getting my calories in earlier in the day, I'm afraid I won't be eating enough if I quit at 6.

Once you get thru 2-3 days its very easy!

[glam8babe]

i did this when i was at college.. breakfast, lunch when it was lunch break, then once i got home i would have my dinner and not eat after 6-7pm i had quite a flat stomach back then

 

[mizuki~]

Not at all! I thought its going to be very hard, cause I like to munchin on something while Im watching tv or something. But I got a lot of bottled water and Im just drinking water. No huge cravings at nights so far.

Sushi sound very good.

Hehe. But I have no time to make them before 6 p.m. So I guess I will have some leftovers.
