Question About Late Night Eating??

[Kimberly_P]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if that old rule about not eating after 7 applies to the Adkin's Diet? I ate dinner around 4:30-5 then walked 2.50 miles, it's 10:00 right now and I am STARVING! I have some left over crab legs and melted butter sitting out but is it ok to eat that this late at night?

If you are really hungry, you need to eat. I have seen big losses after eating at 11 pm. It is better to eat now than to delay and risk temptation.

Crab Rocks! Ok, so I ate some crab legs and I'm still hungry I have no clue why because today when I ate breakfast and lunch I couldn't even finish half of it. I can't have any more veggies because I'm over my limit and now I'm definately at my fat limit because of the butter so the only thing I saw that looked good were the good ol' pork rinds... Is being hungry like this normal at this hour?

Ok, so I had like 10 pork rinds and I'm not full but satisfied so I think I'm all good but do ya think I over did it with them?

Nah, I wouldn't worry about it. If you are still hungry and worried about your ratio, eat eggs they are almost a perfect 65/30/5 ratio. Could it be you are thirsty? Drink a tall glass of water and wait a little bit to see if you are still hungry.

Eat when you're hungry. I don't think the time frame matters too much. Here in Italy very few people eat dinner before 8.30/9.00 at night. In Spain they eat lunch around 4 pm and dinner around 10 pm and it doesn't seem to do them any harm at all.

Just remember to stop when you're satisfied. Atkins does not mean gorging.

Good luck...

first when you feel really hungry on Atkins drink some water and see if your hunger goes away as the control centers are side by side in the brain and spillover occurs.

Then if you are still hungry eat as you did. there is no fat limit. we can be over on our fats just not on proteins and carbs if you look prokrinds are really a higher protein then fat food in terms of grams eatten.


The nice thing about Atkins is we get to eat when we are hungry. Haven eating at 4:30-5 you were very close to hitting the 6 hr rule for needing to eat again anyway.

SO did you save some for Barb?

Thanks for addressing that question. Today is day seven and when I woke up, I was starving. About an hour ago my hubby brought me breakfast in bed and now I feel hungry again. Strange, I haven't felt hungry all week. I guess I'll drink the glass of water and see if that feeling stays. It's also nice to know that if I'm hungry at night I can eat. YEEE HAAAA!
