Key Quotes

“Majority of the craving tends to happen in the evening after you've had your dinner. That's when we tend to fall prey to some of the more sugary processed foods… If there's a craving, give in to the craving, just make it fits within those calories. That way you don't feel like you're going off track, you're still able to eat the things that you want. And most importantly, you're still progressing towards your goals.” - Maxime Sigouin

“There are a few myths that we have to debunk in order for you to be able to accept this truth. One of them is if you eat after 7 pm, you're going to put on fat, that is absolutely false… If you eat carbs after 7 pm, but you're in a calorie deficit, you will still lose weight. The main component of fat loss is being in a calorie deficit, there needs to be less energy that comes in that energy that goes out.” - Maxime Sigouin
