More than half of us are all-day grazers, eating for 15 hours or longer every day. We also eat the majority of our calories – more than 35% of them – at night after 6 pm (1).
That late-night eating comes with a number of metabolic consequences, and a new study shows that it actually increases hunger, reduces the calories you burn throughout the day, and leads to changes in fat tissue that make weight loss harder.
If weight loss and better metabolic health are your goals, it pays to have a strategy for handling the hours before bedtime. This blog post shares what to eat, when to fast, and a few tips to make the whole thing easy to follow, more enjoyable, and effective.

This comment was posted under one of my YouTube videos, “I hate cooking. This is why I can’t ever stick to a healthy diet because a lot requires some type of cooking. ugh”
Can you relate?
I want to show you that cooking does not need to be time-consuming, difficult, or include a bunch of ingredients that you’ve never heard of before.
In fact, if you can smoosh ingredients together and stick them in the oven, you can be eating a healthy meal in less than 30 minutes that is keto and kid-friendly. Here we go.

The average person’s daily calorie consumption has increased by 24 percent since the 1960s (1).
Many factors contribute to this calorie explosion, from the processing of foods to the three-meal-a-day plus snacks mindset, to external cues that make us want to eat even when we aren’t hungry, think the late-night pizza commercial and the smell of fresh-baked cookies.
These extraneous factors make it very hard to tell the difference between true hunger, which is driven by your body’s physiological need for fuel, and false hunger, which is driven by other factors, including habits, routines, whims, and scarcity.
Learn how to tell the difference, and you create an effortless way to cut out hundreds of unneeded calories each day.
This blog post shares my hunger scale so you have a tool to help you gauge when to eat and when to fast. And I’ll share the trick for staying in the middle range so you move through your day feeling satisfied.

Your metabolism is the collection of reactions inside your body that convert the foods you eat into energy used to power everything you do, from exercising to breathing. You want it to run uninhibited so you fully utilize the energy you take in.
Your gut houses trillions of bacteria and other microscopic organisms. There are good and bad bacteria; the mixture of them living inside you makes up your unique gut microbiome and determines your gut health.
Will improving your gut health directly improve your metabolism? No. We can’t say that yet. While there are some interesting studies, like the famous 2006 study where gut bacteria from obese mice were put into germ-free mice, making them fat, more research is needed to understand this connection fully (1).
However, there is evidence that an imbalanced gut microbiome contributes to weight loss barriers like insulin resistance, poor blood sugar regulation, and inflammation (2) (3) (4).
It is even hypothesized that the bacteria in your gut manipulate your eating behaviors. Basically stated, the bugs in your gut have food preferences of their own, and what they crave, you crave (5).
All these factors make poor gut health the metabolism mistake you cannot overlook. The good news is that you can make improvements. This blog post shares how to give your gut what it needs, so you can get the health and weight control you want.
