As a rule, it’s good stop eating at least two to three hours before bed.

But depending on your day or the fitness program you are doing, this can be especially hard. So if you’re really struggling, try eating a casein protein-based snack. Casein protein (found in dairy like yogurt or cottage cheese or as a powder supplement) digests much slower in your stomach (taking 5-7 hours). Therefore it’s available for longer periods of time to help feed your muscles, which is particularly nice for those doing a strength training program. This certainly beats eating a quickly digested food that your body is prone to store as fat during your rest,

So when you just have to eat something, it might as well be something that works for you as you sleep, rather than against you.

As a busy mom of three young children, I had neglected my nutrition and fitness for many years. I was at a point where I was tired all the time and felt bad about my health, fitness and physical appearance… Kim was extremely encouraging and provided the accountability I needed to stay on track to reach my goals. I was able to exceed my goal by losing 17 pounds and over 13 inches! I also have more energy, feel healthier, and feel better about myself too. Kim has also been able to help me develop a plan to maintain going forward… I am extremely grateful to Kim for her encouragement, tips and genuine care in seeing me reach my fitness goals. I couldn’t have done it without her!
