Day 13: Your Kitchen Should Have a Closing Time

[Greeting]

Welcome back to the Weight Loss Lifestyle Challenge. We are now moving on to day 
13, when you learn about having open and closed kitchen times.


What is a Kitchen Closing Time?

This simply means you set a time each evening where you no longer get food or drinks 
(with calories) from the kitchen. By setting a specific time, you are reminded that you 
should eat your last meal or snack by say 7 or 8pm, and don’t keep grabbing snacks 
during your late night Netflix sessions. 


Is This the Same as Intermittent Fasting?

It’s not exactly the same, though some nights you might end up fasting 16 hours or 
longer if you have an earlier kitchen closing time, and eat breakfast later the next day. 
However, you can still benefit by having this time to avoid late night snacking that is 
more out of habit or boredom, and less because you are actually hungry.

When you’re hungry – we want you to eat!


Tip – Put your kitchen closing time up on your refrigerator! It’s a nice reminder that you 
can always eat again tomorrow morning.

Journal Prompt – Write down your old eating schedule and any adjustments you would 
like to make.
