no food after 6..is this one type of a diet?

hi doniep^^;; yeah i heard this too and they call it "after 6 diet" experts said we should eat at night because we will be sleeping for a long time. you are very right when you said we should select and limit food intake so i don't understand why so many people let their selves suffer from not eating food. a good diet is to make people healthy without depriving them of food.

I have heard about this but I am not into it. Some people say that it works. Well, I think it does considering that when you eat to much during the evening, it is not properly digested. Most of them would most likely end up as fats. But for me, diet is not about not eating but rather the choice of food that you take in. If you take in healthy foods rather than fatty foods surely it will be beneficial to health.

Well to maintain a balanced diet, you must eat from all the food groups and exercise and blah, blah, blah. As long as one is stuffing their faces, they are on a diet. I have a big beau and he does the atkins diet sometimes. He is a diabetic and they have to watch their carb intake. Well, while discussing diet options for my overweight son, we remembered that in school they told us that eating before bed is bad for you because you don't burn that food for energy and it sits and becomes fat. That makes sense, if you eat something and exercise afterwards you are burning calories for energy, yada, yada yada. I feed my kids around 4:30pm-5pm supper and then that's it. They cannot snack unless it's like celery or carrots. A controlled diet is a certain selection of foods and if you want it to be successful then you have to have an exercise regimine and follow it completely. No cheating. So i hope this answers your question.

technically yes skipping the night food would stop the increasing weight and could decrease your weight up to a limit for a typical person. this is because of the reason that we do not use the calories that we intake at night and so they are stored as fat.

yes, no food after 6, is one type of a diet. Medically speaking, it is what we called as NPO or "none per orem" in English "nothing by mouth" in layman's term that's what they called "fasting".

Well I know a lot of people will not eat after 6. But I can see why since you gain more at night time then you do during the day time so I can see why people dont eat at that time even though I dont because I work till late and I usally have dinner around 6 or 7 pm plus I stay up late so its hard to last more then 5 or 6 hours with out eating something.
