  Avoid Nighttime Eating

Does late night eating cause weight gain? It's one of the most pervasive questions in weight-loss theory: does when you eat affect how many pounds you gain or lose? It turns out the answer is yes—but primarily for mental, rather than physical, reasons.

Weight gain that is attributed to snacking at night is generally thought to be caused by the overeating that's done at late hours, rather than the actual time of day. "Some people who wake up in the middle of the night to eat [can] gain weight because they are usually eating for emotional reasons," says Jessica Begg, a registered dietitian based in Vancouver.

One of the problems with eating at night is that people are not eating enough during the day," says Sharma. If you're tired and famished by the time evening comes around, you're more likely to eat whatever is convenient (such as junk food) and consume most of your day's calories at a time when your metabolism is slowing down due to lack of food during the daytime.

Read the following testimonials from Motivations members who have done the 66 Day Challenge:

 

Dear Motivations: 

Another great 66 Day Challenge. Jody, you have once again pushed me and twisted me into moves I didn't think were possible.  It is not always about pounds and inches lost, it is also about how your clothes fit, and how you feel.  It is so important when I think of all the time I have spent in gyms and was not getting results.

For anybody going into the 66 Day Challenge; be prepared to listen and take the advice of your trainer.  No matter your age, you can do it, I did! I have been a member of other gyms and I thought I was doing the right exercises, the right way, but I never got the results I wanted.  Now I know, listen, push yourself...nothing is impossible.

Jody, thank you for your encouragement, without that I would just be content, and that is just not good enough.  I look forward to working out with you again.

Marie

 

Dear Motivations:

I am half way through the 66 Day Challenge and I have already lost weight and inches!  I am also stronger and I have noticed that my endurance has increased.  I owe this to Jody's encouragement.  She pushes me to my limit in a way that makes the class enjoyable.  She shows patience when I complain and she does not let me quit half way through an exercise.

I signed up for this challenge with two of my good friends who I walk with every morning.  I believe this has also kept me going.  At the beginning of the challenge, when I was sore, I had friends who could relate to my soreness.

Overall, I 100% endorse this program.  It has given me the confidence to make changes in my life.  It has also shown me that I am strong and very capable or being even more healthy.  This program has shown me that being healthy can be fun.
