‘Stop Eating After 7pm’ Challenge

Pleased to say all done by 6pm tonight.
Was concerned I was going to struggle to adapt back from holiday culture eating patterns. Both hubby and I were really hungry by 5 so we ate then and I made larger portions in the hope that would see us though, and it's worked. Neither of us are wanting or needing more and it's bedtime now.

As added motivation I put on 3 lbs while away, and I thought I was being good! Maybe it was the alter eating as much as the food/alcohol? Only time will tell.

I expect it's just water weight @MrsA2. That'll soon disappear.
 
We met the challenge once again on Thursday evening; fed and watered and kitchen closed by 7.00 pm.
I still feel pleasantly full at well past bedtime.

If anyone's still logged in, good night. Sleep well.

Alcoholic beverages in my experience, give us a big energy bang for our bucks! So factor large in weight gain and weight loss.

And you know what I think anyway I believe? Any intermittent fasting regimen adopted long term needs to factor in holidays and social occasions, otherwise having type two diabetes diet treated would be beyond depressing! And, difficult to sustain whilst having a full life.

I'm pleased you did the time out from the eating window in Italy thing!

And I have no idea what 3 lbs means. Love it that Brits and Americans mean I get to use my dashboard converter.... it's less than one and a half kilos? - I think that's not a lot in the scheme of things! Did it keep you in the same BMI range? I think so? Or, are you measuring your waist? belly? or? Your BGs? (Or, all of the above?)
