Part 1 in a 4-part MBE Series
MBE partnered with Always Eat After 7 PM for this post. My opinions are my own. However, the book featured as well as MBE's series about this title is for informational purposes only and it is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice. 
Why I'm Reviewing This Book
Over the next month I'll be sharing weekly posts summing up what I'm learning from the new book Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts and Indulgent Snacks -- While Burning Fat Overnight, (BenBella Books, 2020) by Joel Marion. My hope is that each story I share about my personal journey in this 4-part series inspires MBE's like-minded readers who lead full and busy family lives to find your own happy and healthy place by eating delicious food that's actually good for you without feeling deprived.
Accepting The Challenge
No matter what your age, if you have kids like I do, who doesn't want to look and feel your best all the time, right? For me, that means consistently have the energy and physical stamina to keep up with a busy household where both my husband and I work, as well as to enjoy staying active with my four 20-something children whenever we travel together.
Being physically fit doesn't happen by itself, though. It involves a simple, but healthy, science-based diet plan like the one that is the cornerstone of Marion's new book, as well as some lifestyle changes on your part. Watch this short clip to hear from the author himself.
Your personal goal might be to lose many pounds or take off some weight that might be causing or aggravating chronic health problems. No judgement here: whatever the situation to priority is doing what's best for you on your terms.
In my case, I don't want to give up eating delicious food, especially chocolate and desserts. But, I do want to shed about 10 pounds to reach and maintain my ideal Body Mass Index (BMI). That's to ensure I have enough body fuel to continue to keep up with my very active family of six when we zipline over the Cancun jungle, venture into the African bush tracking animals on a photo safari, and white water raft through Class 4 Rapids, followed by a leisurely rappel down a 150 foot waterfall in Costa Rica. Talk about a family that lovingly pushes you to your personal physical limits, but I love every minute of our often extreme adventures.

Inspiration to Fuel Your Transformation
According to the author of Always Eat After 7 PM, "Research shows that the average person's metabolic rate is no different during sleep than during the day." Marion further explains, "In short, your metabolism doesn't slow down at night. Nor does your body store fat at the end of the day. Whether it's 8 am or 8 pm, you use food for energy the same same way."
In my coming weekly posts here on MommyBlogExpert.com you'll learn so much more about how Marion's diet strategy works to structure when and what you are eating and drinking in new ways so you can achieve your personal goals. In Week #2 I'll be discussing more about why I chose to work on this project as well as share an interview with Joel Marion.
