No eating after 6pm challenge
Well a thread was started on the Atkins forum regarding not eating after 6pm by vickycopsy in order to enhance our weight loss. Some people suggested that a challenge needed to be created for all of us interested in persuing this.
I have attached some of the supportive information that was mentioned in the thread Quote:
It would be cool for us to have an icon or symbol but I know that's not my forte. Good luck all!! |
Im with you, I am one of the ones who responded that this hasnt helped. I have not been eating after 6:00 for a few weeks unless an emergency happened to where I couldnt eat on time. I havent seen much difference but I am willing to stick with you and give it a try.
Should we post our starting weights and how long should the challenge go. It is 5 after 6 so I gotta go run and eat. |
I started this after seeing the other thread. I'm willing to give it a month just to see what happens.

Good luck! This is one I'll have to pass on, though--my DH doesn't often get home before 7:30-8:00; in fact, 3x a week I don't either!

Can I join in if my time needs to be 7pm? I can't do 6pm, don't get home from work in time. But for the last several days I've been shooting for not eating after 7pm. It always help when you accountable to someone.
Let me know. Deana |
I am in on this one. This is my fourth evening (my cut off is 6:30 due to time conflicts).
Start 200 Day 1 199 Day 2 195.5 Day 3 195 Good success to everyone! |
Hi Judy,
Wow, you lost 3.5 in the first day. Are you drinking water after 6:30 or just not doing the eating? Seems to me if I drink too much water then I dont lose. I dont know if it is that or soemthing else tho. I try to get in 20glasses a day. |
Tonight is going to be hard. My DD has an academic meet and we are not supposed to be back until late. I am gonna take me some Tuna Salad and hope it holds me over til tomorrow. The kids will have to eat after the meet so that way I wont be tempted with things I am not allowed.

I'm in!
I lost 2 pounds last night (didn't eat after 6) so I'm up for the challenge to see if it totally agrees with me. Tasha |
guys, the time you stop eating really isnt important - its how LONG after your last food intake that you sleep. If you eat last at 8pm but dont sleep till midnight you will see the same effect.
Also, for many of you complaining of stalling, you need to use www.fitday.com and see how many total calories you are taking in. I've had to drop mine to around 2000-2300 to continue loss and I work out daily. The rule of thumb that bodybuilders use is 10x your bodyweight in calories for safe, consistent loss and getting at least 1g/lb protein. This rule isnt for everyone but if you exercise reguarly I guarantee it will work! |
Im in for the chalange :)
I am going to not eat after about 7pm though because I go to sleep around 12pm. So that should give me enough time, right? |
I didnt make it tonight. I didnt get to eat until about 8:30. I had planned on fixing me some tuna salad to take with me to my dd academic meet but I didnt have time. I had to get my horses fed before I left and one ofthem gave me problems and didnt want to go up so I ran out of time. DD got out of the academic meet later than they expected. Tomorrow is another day and I am going to church but I always eat before I go there.
