March 28, 2005 — Nutrition and fitness expert Jorge Cruise says in his newest book, "The 3-Hour Diet™: How Low-Carb Diets Make You Fat and Timing Makes You Thin," that it's not so much what you eat but when you eat that's important. The core idea behind "The 3-Hour Diet™" is that by timing your meals and snacks every day, you will reset your body's metabolism, and the pounds will come off. \n\nCruise's diet stresses plenty of fruits, vegetables and lean proteins but doesn't restrict your favorite foods, including carbs. The book includes a recipe guide with options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks from a range of homemade, frozen and fast-food choices; a 28-day visual eating planner to promote organization and accountability in meal planning; and tips and advice from Jorge's clients on managing time and making meals on the go. \n\nYou can read an excerpt from "The 3-Hour Diet™" below: \n\n"Today, when I look in the mirror, I see a healthy, active person. My knees don't hurt like they did seven weeks ago. I really do feel healthier now. This is a big change for me — a change for the better. I want to enjoy my retirement. I thank Jorge for my success. I am now on the right path for an active lifestyle." \n— Dona Buth, Lost 20 Pounds \n\nMost of us pay close attention to the clock. We set an alarm to wake us in time for work. We strive to leave work by a particular time in order to beat rush-hour traffic. We structure our lives around the time we need to pick the kids up from day care, soccer practice, and play dates. \n\nYet too many of us seem to get out of sync when it comes to eating. Rather than having an eating schedule, many people tend to eat only when it occurs to them. They rush out the door in the morning, forgetting to eat breakfast or intentionally skipping it to save time and calories. They get swept up at work, and realize at two or three in the afternoon that they haven't eaten lunch — and for many people that is their first meal of the day. They complete errands and other tasks after work, only remembering to eat dinner when they are too hungry to stand it. \n\nWhen you eat is critical. As I mentioned in chapter 1, it's essential that you know that successfully losing weight and keeping it off is all about timing. Yet most people use bad timing by eating sporadically. You eat sporadically anytime you allow more than 3 hours to pass between meals. This causes the body to switch from a fat-burning mode to a fat-preservation mode. Instead of fat, the body burns muscle tissue and your metabolism plummets as a result. This leads to fat gain. \n\nSo to get thin, you need to create a consistent eating schedule. That's the secret way to lose weight and keep it off. What exactly does this mean? You may be wondering again, "Is it just about eating every 3 hours? Is that all there is?" The answer is no. Although this program is very simple, there's a little bit more. You see, the key is that it must become automatic for you. Your eating schedule must become effortless and easy. It's all about learning how to use my Visual Timing" formula. \n\nThe power of Visual Timing™ will free you from your past dieting failures. You will at last have an enjoyable and automatic way to eat everyday. Specifically, I promise that by following the 3-Hour Diet" you will lose up to 2 pounds a week from your belly first and bring back the joy of eating! \n\nThe Power of Visual Timing™ \nThe goal of Visual Timing™ is to make eating every 3 hours completely effortless and automatic. In this way, you will not only lose the weight, but keep it off long term. How will Visual Timing™ do this for you? Visual Timing™ involves two critical secrets.\n\nSecret 1: The 3-Hour Timeline™ \nThe first key is to learn when to eat. This involves learning when to start eating, how to keep going through the day, and when to st

trust me - you don't want to do it! It's so bad for you. Plus, eating less just makes your metabolism slower. So once you start eating after those four days of not eating, you will gain weight more rapidly because you have slowed down your metabolism so much. If you are really trying to lose weight- try drinking only water and sugar free drinks like teas and juices sweetend with a sugar substitute, no soda, eating smaller portions every three hours and no later than 8 or 9:00 at night. Try to eat more proteins, whole grains, and fruits/veggies. It will balance your blood sugar making you feel more satisfied eating less. Eating more often (every 3 hours) will also stimulate your metabolism to help you lose weight. YOU DO NOT WANT TO STARVE YOURSELF.

How soon do you go to bed after eating meals? This may be a problem you should consult a physician about!

Yes, if you have a cup of any hot beverage including coffee or tea before a meal it will curb your appetite.

Personally, I wouldn't take it before going to bed.  If you're worried about losing your gut, don't eat ANYTHING past about 7:00 at night.  You also should switch to 6 small meals spaced throughout your day, as opposed to the traditional 3 meals.\n\nIf you want some really good info on bodybuilding and diet, check out this site.  I've learned a TON there...\nhttp://www.discussbodybuilding.com

It is just a cultural thing. Americans often go to bed at 10 or 10:30 and eating so soon before bed time can speed up weight gain.\n\nWe usually only have three meals, one at roughly 7am, one at 12, and one at roughly 6:30. six hours is a long time to wait for food!

i don't think that not eating until 5 pm is a good idea. your body needs energy all throughout the day, and water doesn't give your body energy - you need some level of food to keep you going all day. if you started exercise without any food reserves in your system, you could get dizzy and be forced to stop before you faint.\n\ngenerally, nutrionists agree that eating a little bit all day is better than eating one large meal.\n\nlosing weight is more than just malnourishing yourself - it's about eating the right foods in the right amounts, and getting exercise. \ni would strongly suggest consulting a physician or dietician if you want to lose weight.

drink a lot of water, and don´t eat after 5pm, after he sun goes down you don´t burn those calories..

It's not what time you eat, but it's what kind of food you consume. You don't need to consume heavy things (bread, beef) at night because if you're trying to lose weight, it won't work. Eat something light.\n\nIf it's your first day back, still eat something light, or have a nice meal in between time.

If you can stop eating after one lean cuisine dinner they probably would be effective, however, the amount of food in those dinners is in my opinion not enough to satisfy an appetite. \nIf you make a small piece of meat, fish or chicken and have vegetables and a salad with it (no potatoes, rice, starches) you would lose weight and eat a lot healthier as well as being more cost effective then buying frozen lean cuisine or any other like product.

Eating 2 hours before bed time or waking up during the night to eat, will cause you to put on weight as you are not burning the fuel in your body while your sleeping. With excess weight you may develop problems that are related to being over weight such as diabetes, heart problems etc

If you are serious and understand that there is no overnight way to loose the amount you are asking about maybe this will help. At about 5 lbs. a week it will take  about 10 weeks to loose the weight You would be better to set your sights on 2-3 lbs per week. NEVER, EVER eat anything after 5pm. Never eat just before going to bed. Eat only twice a day. Drink water, lots of water, and a glass of warm water before bed. Drinking water helps the body to flush out excess fat wastes and toxic body waste and helps with giving you a full feeling. It also helps with mental mentality. Have a bit of fat in some form early in the day, like REAL butter on a piece of toast, this will make the body feel like it is not being slighted. If you must eat sweets try the sugar-free kind, they cost a bit more but are worth it in the long run, pace yourself with them. Get out of the house every day if only to walk once around the block, don't rush, notice everything around you, think about what you see. Add more blocks as you feel as ease with, change routes. If you are pressed into feeling bad by someone near, start doing a chore, laundry, dishs, vacuuming, taking out the trash (and you can sneak that walk as you drop the trash in the trashcan as you go by), STAY AWAY from the ice box. Binge eating only makes the problem worse and you feel you are less of a person after it is over with. If you get weak when out and hit a fast food place and after ordering you feel you shouldn't be doing that, DON'T !!!!, pay for the food, walk OUTSIDE!, don't sit down, and drop the stuff in the trash can or give it to someone outside or an animal. You will feel odd doing this but then you will feel that you just took control over yourself and it will get you thinking about the other things in your life you should look into taking back control over, and you just proved to yourself that it is not impossible. Try taking yourself out of the circle you focus on all the time and place yourself on the edge and others in the center. When I was losing weight I found that taking Chromium tablets each day curtailed my craving for chocolate. I am a big choc-0-halic. Amino acids also helped for control (all over the counter stuff). Make sure you are not alergic to any of this though. And do not make a big deal of your trying to loose weight to others, keep low key, pretend to be eating so other do not try to keep handing you stuff to stuff in your face. I stopped smoking by not telling anyone and keeping a half pack of ciggs in my shirt pocket so all could see I had it and they did not offer me any. It was worth their bumming them from me to ward off any questions. Nobody near around you will help you if it is not in their best interest to keep you in the position that is more conveient to them. FAKE them out! Depend on yourself, in the end you are the only one who is there for you no matter what is said. O.K. eat more veggies, take them with you, snack on them, unlimited, try all the diffrent veggies at the store, take time out to go to the store just to see what is offered, strange to you or not, try it! And stay out of the other areas of the store. Well, that's what I can tell you for what it is worth. I gained a lot of weight after 3 surgeries and am an older person in my 50's, and now it is so hard to loose, so very hard. Do it now while you can, and like yourself, not what others want you to change into for them, you are not them, you are YOU, and control will come with practice over time.

Y'all may not want to be out like that at night.  Not eating and then exercising hard is NOT GOOD for you, and is a crappy way to try to force yourself to lose weight.

"A nice walk after meal will help your digestion" is a myth. Fact is: you need a lot of energy to digest your food. Exercising right after you've done eating will disturb your digestive system from doing its job. \n\nAn invigorating exercise should be done early in the morning. Or in the afternoon, whichever fits your daily schedule. And shouldn't be done at least two hours after a big meal. \n\nLight, morning (around 5 or 6 am) exercises will fuel up your brain for the rest of the day. While afternoon exercises (around 4 or 5 pm) will motor up your metabolism, so you can burn up more calories in the evening (even while you're sleeping).
