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?

Yep! Eat and Enjoy! And I am jealous!

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?

[Kimberly_P]

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...
