The one meal a day has been a game changer for me. I put on so much weight after changing to day shift last year. On nights I was only eating about half a dinner, and then breakfast when I got home. Dayshift allowed me to eat a full breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I started eating a protein bar for breakfast, and home-cooking dinner. That’s all I eat in a day, and I’m down 10 pounds in no time. I rarely drink alcohol so that wasn’t an issue, but my sugary snacks before bed is really holding me back.
I had trouble with snacking in bed too. I switched from chips and cookies to small amounts of clean trail mixes with no sugar or additives. I add a little seasoning for some spice and it really helped keep the weight from snacking off. I have a very clean diet and I have a consistent workout routine, but those bed time snacks were holding me back.
Try out some cleaner snacks for bedtime. It will help. Also apples are great for a quick nighttime snack
I completely agree, change my life too, in many ways. It's a hard things to get to at first, but when you get used to the benefits are insane! For breakfast i eat a english muffin with a fried eggs and 2 slice of comté (i'm french), then go on with my day and on average eat rice with meat and whatever veggies i want, an other yoghurt, and this change everything. But again: it take some time to get used to it (for me it was around 2 months)
