I’m not sure whether you mean that your metabolism slows down at night, so you shouldn’t eat then, or you mean that your metabolism slows down because you eat at night… either way, that information is incorrect. In fact, there is some research that shows eating smaller meals during the day and a large meal at night is good for body composition. The key point is that no matter what time of day you eat, you must be consuming high-quality foods.

Your second question is complicated. But, as a short answer, no. Food quality cannot be overlooked, especially for health concerns. Yes, eating a small amount of poor quality food might result in weight loss, but the long-term effects of a nutrient-poor diet could be detrimental to your health (and to long-term weight loss). Plus, certain foods will help you feel satisfied on a restricted calorie diet and these tend to be the higher quality, nutrient-dense, foods.

Your third question…. no. Typically not, but there are a wide variety of what could be considered diet pills. If your diet is “dialed-in” and you decide to supplement with a fat-loss aid, this could very well be worth the money. If you’re trying to use a supplement as an excuse to slack on your diet, you might as well flush your money down the toilet.

Hope this helps! Most of these topics will be covered in S.P.E.E.D. – check out our Facebook page for more info, discussions, and for updates on the progress of the book.

I have also heard that it does not matter what you eat as long as you are below a certain amount of calories, is there any truth to this?

Also, are diet pills worth the money?
