It's been 3 weeks that my wife was on the After 6 diet. It is a simple diet - no food or drink except water after 6 pm. There is no restriction on the kind of food and on the amount that you eat. The problem is I also joined my wife to encourage her.Now she had lost 4 pounds and I lost 5 pounds. I have to regain that 5 pounds, I am already thin, wahuhuhu.

@Alexandoy I count my calories, I know that if I stay under 1200 it's fine and I do not gain weight.

@LadyDuck we do not know how to count calories. My gauge is the weighing scale in the morning. I am 146 today so maybe I have to eat a bigger dinner so I can be 147 tomorrow.

Last night I had dinner. My wife's dinner is 5 pm to abide by the diet's rule of After 6. I had a snack by 3:30 pm as my usual schedule and at 7 pm, I had dinner. This morning my weight seemed to gain slightly but at least it did not go down.

It is hard for me not to eat anything after 6. If I feel hungry I cannot go to sleep.

@Alexandoy I am not losing weight, but I should. I have at least 10 kilos more than I should.

Same with me. The other night, I ate dried dates while watching tv at 9 pm. I slept at 10 pm. Last night I had dinner at 7 pm. I cannot endure the diet for I am losing weight fast.

@rappeter13 if you are nearing 60 then I guess you have to lose that now. My wife is 57 and she had neglected the 20 pounds overweight. Now she is struggling to lose.

The sticking is always the issue with any kind of diet. My idea is to log down the development every day for motivation. When you lose motivation then you quit the diet.

That means you are on that After 6 diet. I hope that would work for my wife. She has more than 20 pounds to lose.

@CarolDM that means you are used to it. I hope my wife would get used to it as well. She's into that for 3 weeks now and I don't hear any complaint.... yet.

this sounds similar to intermittent fasting

Yes, it is intermittent fasting. But it is easier because you can eat a lot before 6 pm.

that sounds like a very healthy diet to boot!

The proponents of that After 6 diet said it is a partial fasting since no food intake for at least 12 hours.

@DocAndersen it is an easy diet although at first you will go hungry because your dinner was so early.

yes, i've tried that before and it works. if i get hungry at night, i just drink milk. what's important is i have food available in the morning because at that time, i was in a boarding house and i'm really hungry when i wake up.

Milk is not allowed, only water. At least my wife is following the rule religiously. But me, I don't need to diet, I am already thin so I have to eat dinner tonight. There's the leftover steak we had for lunch and that can be my lovely dinner.

@Alexandoy If I want to keep eating too much, I just go to bed and lock myself in my room

@RebeccasFarm that is called comfort food that you feel happy when you are eating.

OMAD is one meal a day. That is difficult because you would surely get hungry. The After 6 diet is better since you can sleep when you get hungry, waheehee.

If you are sexy then you definitely don't need this diet at all.

@DianneN some friends have been posting a caricature on the left with a sexy woman and a fat woman on the right - to show before and during the lockdown. It is funny but some say it is true.

The breakfast is usually at 7 am. The more than 12 hours gap is the fasting period.

Does it help you control your weight. Our dinner is also at 7 pm but now with the diet, my wife had to eat her dinner by 5 pm.

Yes, it is working for her but kind of slow. For me it is fast, waheehee.
