    ...and this garbage is why it's very important for people to educate themselves.

    I like how he also got fermentation and purification completely confused....they aren't interchangeable. /facedesk

    Despite the laughs being generated, it has been my experience that if I stop eating at a decent hour such as 8pm, combined with a light cardio workout first thing in the AM, my losses are quicker.

    OMG that is my time zone! I just wonder how the U.S. people on the East Coast will not eat anything after 2 PM then.

    Nowadays I generally go to bed around 8-- because I have to wake up at 3:30-- and so I generally try to stop eating no later than 6. This eating schedule works very well for me, and I do most of my eating between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. However, I used to be on a completely opposite schedule when I worked overnights at a hotel... :P

    Sometimes I feel like I have a crew of little people clambering around in my intestines.

    I think there is some evidence for working out fasted in the am for greater fat loss but by not eating after you're probably just cutting out extra calories.

    I wonder what happens to your intestine if you change time zones, does it take a while to adapt

    Fasted exercise has been debunked.

    8:00 pm in which time zone?

    that's what I was thinking. Half the population of the world will have to only eat at night :huh: :noway:

    ETA: and what about going back in time to warn all the Homo erectuses of this, in order to save the human race. How can we explain the concept of "8pm" to our evolutionary ancestors? :huh: :huh: :indifferent:

    drink water 30 minutes to one hour after meals to allow the food be digested in its real state as water dilutes the nutrients.

    I just about died laughing.

    lol nothing shuts down at all, most people stop being active at night which is why it is recomended to not eat after a certain time

    You can counter this and eat what you want after 8pm as long as you have a sacred Unicorn horn in a 18k gold box.
