It has been a month since I first started reading Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion and following the plan outlined.  

This is my Always Eat After 7PM conclusion. If you haven’t read my weekly updates look back for my background and goals to be a healthy mom, a little more detail about the author and the plan, and how this plan and recipes has been helping me reach my goals. 

Always Eat After 7PM 3 Phases

As a reminder, The Always Eat After 7 PM plan consists of: The 14-day Acceleration Phase, The Main Phase, and The Lifestyle Phase. 

The Acceleration Phase is the phase that will take the most getting used to, obviously. However, once you get that taste for seeing results and understanding that you can do it, you will be hooked. It’s a great way to learn these new habits and stay motivated because it’s designed to get you initial results fast. 

The Main Phase is where you take it a little more in-depth. Start to learn more about what and when to eat. This is the meat of the program, where you will learn healthy habits and how to achieve your weight loss goals. 

Following the Main Phase, is The Lifestyle Phase. This is how you learn to keep the weight off for good. This plan is meant to be sustainable, and this phase will show you how you can live a normal life without restrictive rules and keep the weight off. 

Always Eat After 7PM Acceleration Phase

Starting a new plan is always difficult. I can tell you that I jumped into this phase with both feet and an excitement to change!

To be honest, I was still learning about macros and combining the right foods to meet the guidelines. I took the easy way out and prepped a lot of chicken breasts and ate those with different veggies.

I was feeling fantastic and not hungry during the first week. However, I was likely making my food choices a little too restrictive to maintain. When we spent a week at the cabin with family and without my own kitchen, it started to fall apart.

However, in that first week, I did see a quick 5 pound loss. I also learned how high protein and lots of veggies kept me satisfied and without hunger throughout the day.

Always Eat After 7PM Main Phase

The Always Eat After 7PM Main Phase starts to introduce a wider variety of food choices and some delicious recipe ideas! Our family tried a few and they were a hit!

Fiesta Chicken Skillet

This was a hit with the whole family! My daughter is the picky one, although both kids have always been pretty good eaters. She is NOT a fan of onions and this dish has a lot of them in with the beans. Luckily, she loved the beans so much, she gobbled the onions right up!

The photo in the cookbook was stunning, but mine definitely doesn’t live up to that. It’s just a good family meal. We added a small bit of cheese even if it wasn’t in the recipe because it was shown in the photo. I added avocado slices and my husband and son added a small dollop of sour cream. Yum!

Cheesy Ground Beef Skillet

Another total winner for our family! Even my daughter again who ate onions and green peppers (it calls for red, but during quarantine you use what you have) without complaint! Not only that, but with a lot of “mmm” sounds and a quickly cleaned plate.

This is the skillet I should have used for the last meal, but I had to switch it to a casserole dish. I absolutely love that these recipes can be made in on dish! (Almost, I did have to cook the rice for this one)

These two recipes I tried are perfect family meals!

What I have gained this month. 

So, I’m in The Main Phase at the moment, but look forward to The Lifestyle Phase. I can see how it can easily naturally transition into a lifestyle. 

From reading this book and following this plan, I have seen huge improvements in my self-esteem and interactions with my family. 

This is a Mom who feels proud of the example she is setting. Proud of what she is feeding her family. And no longer guilty about waiting until the kids are in bed and enjoying a late-night snack. 

Through being mindful, we are eating better and have tried some great recipes. I also no longer feel pressured to do more than just a refreshing glass of lemon water in the morning. 

Best of all is what this has done for me mentally. I have noticed that my first thought in the morning is no longer how disgusted I am with myself and, “today I will do better.” I’m already doing better, and to wake with a knew mindset and a positive feeling about myself is the biggest gift.

Although this is my Always Eat After 7PM conclusion, this is just the beginning! We will keep this up, and I hope you’ll check it out too!
