Closing time....

Do you have a cut off time for when you stop eating at night?

I've always heard that you shouldn't eat after 8, so I try not to. A friend pointed out this article:

She says it was put out by Harvard Health Publications. (honestly I didn't read the whole thing, just skimmed the first page)

I figure what's working to me is so far working, so why change it up by eating after 8?

So what do you do? Do you have a cut off time? Or do you just count calories and it doesn't matter when you eat?

Your body needs food every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism running. So if you usually go to bed around 11, then stopping at 8 is perfect for you. For me, I am usually up until 2 or 3 in the morning...and they say to at least stop eating 2 hours before bed...I usually don't eat after 10pm though.
