Fitness coach Viktor Mandziak's response
The expert explained that after 6:00 PM, you can eat the same foods as you would earlier in the day.
"Food does not become harmful after this time. It does not become more caloric and does not negatively affect your body," Viktor said.
"This is an old and outdated myth that there are certain food restrictions after 6:00 PM," Mandziak added.
According to the expert, there is no sense in restricting yourself, as your body functions the same as before 6 PM.
