Final Thoughts From Always Eat After 7PM

By Erin

This post is brought to you by our sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own.

I have really enjoyed my journey through 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. A lot of my friends have had much success with intermittent fasting, which this book goes into great detail about. I have been curious to learn more about it and how it works in greater length. I have been able to do that and to try it for myself with this book. I am a fan so far!

“Intermittent fasting really shines when it comes to improving the hormones that directly affect your hunger, blood sugar, and metabolism. One is insulin. IF combats insulin resistance, meaning that it helps your body use insulin more normally, thereby lowering your diabetes risk and boosting your metabolism.”

Here are some of the benefits Intermittent Fasting from the book:

  • Natural increase in growth hormone levels without exercising
  • Increased metabolic rate and fat burning
  • Lowered risk of diabetes and insulin resistance
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Prevention of disease, including reduced risk of cancer
  • Improved heart health
  • Better brain health and protection against dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
  • Longevity and anti-aging
  • Maintenance of skeletal muscle mass (lean muscle)
  • Younger, clearer looking skin

Always Eat after 7 also goes into great detail about the 3 phases, Carbs, Friendly Fats, and tons of delicious recipes to get you going to meet your goals. I have had so much more energy in the mornings and throughout the day, allowing me to accomplish more things off of my To-Do list and not feeling like I need to crash on the couch for the rest of the night when I’m done. I will be continuing on with this journey and am excited to see what the next few months hold!
