Do Not Eat After Sunset

Similarly, it is also acceptable to follow the challenge of eating 4 hours before you go to bed. Medical research proves that it is essential for you to have time between your dinner and sleep, so you have enough time to digest your food. If it's less than 4 hours, the food then gets stored in fat reserves (which are ultimatley the hardest to lose).

Tips for this challenge:

1. Eat something for dinner that is relatively light, and is digested quickly. Dinner shouldn't be your heaviest meal.
2. Sleep early. If you stay up longer, you will get a second burst of hunger usually around 11pm.
3. Plan and prepare your day ahead of time, so it allows you to eat dinner earlier.
