Most of my readers will remember that a few years ago I started on a diet that helped me lose 60lbs. But while on that diet, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and I had to stop dieting. During that time, I became very sick and between hospital visits and steroids, I gained 40lbs back. So when I found 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, I was intrigued. I've always been told that eating after 7pm will make you gain weight but I don't sleep well if I have an empty stomach. So in an effort to lose weight, I wanted to check the book out.

“Research shows that the average person’s metabolic rate is no different during sleep than during the day. In short, your metabolism doesn’t slow down at night. Nor does your body store fat at the end of the day. Whether it’s 8 am or 8 pm, you use food for energy the same way.”

This quote from the book was interesting to me! I would have never guessed that your metabolism doesn't slow at night.




Based on surprising science, Always Eat After 7 PM debunks popular diet myths and offers an easy-to-follow diet that accelerates fat-burning and allows you to indulge in your most intense food cravings: Eating the majority of your calories at night. We’ve been traditionally taught to avoid carbs, have an early dinner, and never eat before bed. But the fact is, the latest scientific research shows us this earlier model is not the most ideal. 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!

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 is now available to purchase. Learn more about the book and how to purchase here.


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

Last week I shared with you about how our family started using My Property ID to safeguard our valuables from burglars. My Property ID is a company that helps you label and record your serial numbers into a registered database.

How their site works is like this:

• You order their kit which is a one time cost. There are no hidden monthly bills or anything else you will pay. 
• When you receive your kit, you will attach labels to your high end items near their serial numbers.
• You will then record the serial number next to each of your label numbers for each item into their database.
• Next you will put stickers on your doors warning others that all your valuable items are labeled and in a registered database.
• Lastly, you will print out a hard copy of all the serial numbers and labels to keep for your records.

When it comes to other property with serial numbers the rate of recovery is around 7%. 93% disappears. Forget pawn shops for the moment. Nationwide, law enforcement agencies execute search warrants for a whole range of crimes and recover millions upon millions of stolen items. No kidding! They are required to run the serial numbers through the FBI's databases. What percentage come back as stolen. On average, 7%. If every citizen could provide serial numbers in the event of a crime, the odds of recovery would go up and crime rates would come down.

People lose stuff all the time. The world is packed full of Good Samaritans. They find sets of keys or laptops or phones and there is zero way to get it returned. MyPropertyID provides a secure way to do that.

There are things that are so obviously good for us that were initially totally resisted by people. The first thing that comes to mind is soap. Then seatbelts and smoke detectors. Telling people the facts doesn't motivate them to do anything. The advertising strategies of Lifebuoy Soap got people to bathe. The Crash Test Dummies advertising campaign got people to buckle up. My Property ID works because it goes off the basis of Operation ID which is used by police departments around the world.
