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.

I decided to try the 21 day fix and am so glad I did. Due to an injury I wasn’t able to complete the exercise part of it. I still lost weight and owe so much of my success to Kim. She motivated and encouraged me when my injury was really getting me down. She always had time to answer my questions and she checked in with me daily. What I loved the most was that she held me accountable! I really don’t think I would have stuck with it on my own.
