Nothing that I ate while 'off' my plan tasted as good as good day
feels! It is nice to be back working towards a healthier lifestyle. Moving after sitting in theatres for 10 + hours 10 days straight. Here is a question for everyone- what do you think about eating later in the evening? I noticed that quite a few people had resolutions of not eating past 8pm and I have read that in a few books. Thoughts? D grateful for 3 good days in a row YES! |

I guess it depends on everyone's lifestyle. Personally I go to bed after 1am so it's just not realistic to try not to eat anything after 8pm. So I just have a light dinner at around 10pm and it's working for me. |

Hi DD, It can be a harmful cycle for dieters. It's also a great way to fatten up livestock and sumo wrestler's, both. Your body just has no way to use the energy that you've given it with a late meal, before bedtime. So to make it work in a structured eating plan, you'd need to then hold off on having breakfast until several hours later, or eat just a half of your normal breakfast. Which isn't that appealing, imo. A second consideration is that the bulk of the food you eat will still be in your stomach while you sleep. Inevitably, some gases will form, and tend to push the stomach contents, in all directions. Including upward into the esophagus. Now that the food has been mixed with your stomach's acids, it will chemically burn the unprotected esophagus, and you don't want that! Also, it's pretty easy to just "sleep through" a hunger twinge. You may be like me and dream of a pizza once in a while, but that's just funny, no worries there. You don't feel "deprived", by going to bed slightly hungry. You will feel cooler, though! Grab that extra blanket, for sure. Our liver's generate a good amount of our body's heat. When we don't have food for the liver to work on, (indirectly), our body's core temp will drop a bit, and you can really notice it on a diet. That's the way, STRING them good days together! (They won't mind a bit. grin) You think you're dieting, but you're really just making a pearl string necklace of good dieting days, one after the other. Adak |

I have noticed that I get colder quicker now that I have lost the weight. I used to be able to walk around the house in shorts and no shirt during the winter months with the heat turned down, but now I am more comfortable in sweats and slippers... I personally try not to eat meals after 8pm because of what David says, the body doesn't have time to process much of the calories before bedtime (unless you work 2nd or 3rd shift).

There was an interesting article posted recently on the LC newsgroup.
According to the study, done on monkeys which the study performers claim to be an accurate model for humans, there was no correlation found between when the monkeys were fed and their weight gain / loss. Personally, I find I sleep better if I don't eat too soon before bed. Not only am I more comfortable, but eating before bed, especially certain foods, generally causes me to have really wierd dreams. |

Wow! Now that I think about it- I have been a lot colder than normal
especially while sleeping. The house is normally rather cold but last night I actually got up to put on more clothes. It does seem sort of good to go to bed a bit hungry but at the same time I hear 'sent to bed without supper' in my head although I am fairly certain that couldn't ever had happened to me as a child- maybe I am channelling Oliver Twist. It is also interesting that even when I am really hungry when I go to bed - I wake up in the morning not hungry but I now make myself eat breakfast. What about taking vitamins at night?? Is there a optimal time to take vitamins? D |

I usually take mine after dinner. No particular reason for it, except
that is usually my main meal of the day and I figure that it will take longer to digest and that gives the pills more time to dissolve and mix in. Sometimes, I vary it up a little bit, trying to get some calcium or something else in with some breakfast. |
