Does Eating After 8 PM Cause Weight Gain? No, Here Is Why
|
Today's Lesson: The clock doesn't decide if a calorie counts. Your body doesn't check the time. You skip a late dinner because you read that eating after 8PM causes fat gain, then you're starving by 9 and eat twice as much standing at the counter. Here is what actually happened: Your total calories for the day decided the outcome, not the hour. The late night raid did more damage than the actual dinner would have. The Fix: Eat on a schedule that fits your life, not a rule you read online. If dinner at 8 keeps you satisfied and on track, that beats trying to starve until the next morning and you end up binging at 10PM. So stop watching the clock, watch your total for the day. That's it! That's Todays Lesson: Total calories decide the outcome, not what time you ate them. It is simple but not easy! Click Here to match with a coach and get you on tack today! Stay Consistent, Brian | Owner HPHGenetics P.S. You body doesn't know what time you ate but it knows how much you ate :) |

What changed: We worked on the behavior, not just the number. She learned how her body works and built a relationship with...
Today's Lesson: A crowded workout is usually a weak one. You've got twelve exercises on your list. Three sets each. By exercise eight you're rushing, resting less, using momentum, and mostly just trying to finish. Here is what actually happened: you didn't train hard. You got tired. Those are different things, and only one of them builds muscle. The Fix: fewer exercises, done with full effort and full range of motion. Five movements covers you: press with your legs, push, pull, hinge, carry....
Today's Lesson: Eating high protein does not have to mean eating boring. Most people start eating better with plain chicken, plain rice, and a sad pile of broccoli. By Thursday they're sick of it, and by Saturday they're ordering pizza. Here is what actually happened: you didn't run out of willpower. You ran out of food you actually wanted to eat. The Fix: keep the foods you like, and make a higher-protein version of them. Pancakes, burgers and fries, orange chicken, flatbread pizza. Swap in...
