Losing Weight By Exercising In The Evening
That’s what has worked for me and it can work for you.
I’ve been losing weight for over seven months now and have lost about 25 pounds in that time. My latest goal has me losing an additional 10 pounds in the next five months.
The latest effort to lose weight has not been as easy for me as losing the first 25 pounds. Since I have some history to use for reference I thought it would be worthwhile to review what has worked for me.
The “big three” are: (1) no eating after dinner, (2) drinking more water, and (3) exercising. The first two are fairly straightforward, its the last one that I am going to comment on.
Let me say that all three of those efforts are tied together. Drinking more water is critical for exercising, also drinking more water makes me feel full and not want to eat a lot of food.
My experience to date with losing weight and exercising indicates that the best time to exercise is in the evening. Combined with not eating after dinner, this routine has helped me go from 190 pounds to 165 pounds today. And here’s why I think this works for me.
Exercising in the evening, in particular after dinner, combined with not eating after dinner, sets your body up to burn calories while you are sleeping. If you do this right and don’t over exercise, you will have a great sleep and typically wake up weighing less than you did when you went to bed.
I hate to do this, but I’ve got to throw out the fact that I am not a medical profession and am simply relaying my experiences and opinion here. There, got that out of the way.
I’ve exercised too hard in the evening and didn’t eat after that and prior to going to bed. Guess what happened? I couldn’t get to sleep and found myself staring into the refrigerator at midnight looking for a large quantity of food to consume.
I use to be a big fan of exercising in the morning. That worked well when I wasn’t trying to lose weight. After morning exercise, my body was all fired up and ready to go. The only problem with early morning exercise is that I would find my self famished later in the day. And you know what happens when I am hungry, I eat.
And not just eat a little, I would eat enough to stuff myself - or at least that is how I felt when I finished. Have you ever noticed that when you feel starved and feed yourself, you go beyond eating comfortably and make sure that you are full? Unless you have the will power to not do that, then welcome to my little world.
