Myth #1 – Eating after 8:00 pm will cause weight gain.
FALSE. It doesn’t matter what time you eat but rather your daily total consumption and physical activity throughout the day. The basic formula for weight loss is to burn more calories than consumed. This can be done by reducing daily caloric intake, increasing physical activity or the most effective way – incorporating both methods for desired loss. No matter what time of day you eat, your body will store EXTRA calories as fat. This could be late at night or throughout the day. This is why it’s so important to practice portion control.
If you need to have a small snack before bedtime, grab something healthy like an apple, a handful of nuts or a cup of plain popcorn. Just don’t condemn yourself for eating past a certain time.
