Always Eat After 7 PM – Week 3 – Losing Weight!

End of Week 2 Update
As I said in my last couple of posts my goals for using the Always Eat Afer 7 PM diet are to lose some weight and make a lifestyle change. (You can read my first post HERE, and my second post HERE.) I am happy to report I am down another 3 lbs! Entering my 3rd week I am down a total of 6 lbs. It is fantastic, and I am very happy to finally be under 170 lbs for the first time in 2 years.
Not only am I losing weight, but I am starting to crave healthier food options and I am learning when I have had enough food. If you read my other posts you would know the intermittent fasting part of the diet was a concern of mine, but I have not had any issues with it. Yes, some mornings I am hungry, but I am fine once I have my coffee in the morning. So, what exactly do I love about the book, and have I made any of the recipes from the book? Keep reading below to find out!
Recipes
To be completely honest I have not had a chance to try out any of the recipes from the book to date. This is slightly sad, but personally, most of the recipes are not foods my family would eat or the recipes call for ingredients we don’t normally purchase. As a family, it is cheaper, both in time and money, for us to not have to make multiple meals. There are, however, a couple of recipes that I want to make and one of them is on our meal plan for this week. I plan on making the Cheesy Ground Beef Skillet this week, and I also hope to soon be able to make the One-Pan Garlic Roasted Salmon and Broccoli. Which leads me to a couple of reasons why I love the Always Eat After 7 PM book.
Things I Love
When starting a diet many are concerned about food restrictions. In the book Always Eat After 7 PM Joel Marion touches on this subject.
“Fact is, most diets are extremely narrow with regard to food choices and variety, and many even limit entire macronutrients altogether over the course of the entire program (think low-carb and low-fat diets). Three months with no carbs? No thanks. Such practices not only are entirely unnecessary, but make for a miserable, unsustainable experience.”
Following the Always Eat After 7 PM diet, I have not felt restricted at all. I can partake in the diet without having to drastically change what I eat, or what my family eats. It’s a bummer my family would not eat some of the recipes in the Always Eat After 7 PM book because they all look delicious, but because the diet isn’t restrictive I can lose weight anyway making foods my family will eat! Which brings me to probably my favorite quote from the book.
Joel Marion’s Always Eat After 7PM program makes dieting easy and eliminates 90% of reasons for resistance.
The book Always Eat After 7 PM provides you with all of the information you need to be able to participate in the program. From rough draft meal planning to motivation. The book has you covered.
Excited for The Future
So where do I go from here? Let’s go back to what the Always Eat After 7 PM diet is.
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.

I have completed the 2-week acceleration phase and now I am entering the main phase. I get to have a cheat meal! Haha! I am so excited. I am excited to see how week 3 and 4 go. If you had a diet cheat meal what would you get? I need suggestions! Haha!

What constitutes a cheat meal? Is it timing or type/quantity of food?
Yes and yes! Haha! After the first 14 days if you are a non-exerciser you are allowed 1 cheat meal with dessert a week or if you do exercise you are allowed 1 cheat day a week. You are not supposed to do any binge eating. Since I am eating healthier the foods I am wanting for my cheat day are not junk food. Which is awesome. I plan on keeping within my daily calorie allotment. I have been thinking I might have Chipotle as my cheat meal. Doing a burrito bowl loading up with the veggies instead of the sour cream and cheese. Followed by some chocolate.
