    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.

    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.

    Does this mean that after work drinking doesn't count as calories?

    I can imagine a little crew of men shutting down the intestines with a valve. lol

    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.

    Indeed. If I stop eating at 8 instead of 11 ..I consume fewer calories. THAT should work every time.

    Apologies for the sarcasm ..but truly, THAT is the key. Calories consumed over a period of time ..not a "magical" time to stop eating ( or trying to get it in before the intestines clock out for the day) .

    However, what u said has merit. You have found what works well for you in regard to your window of eating. And THAT is full of win

    My intestines seem to work quite well all of the time, except when I go on a trip. Then they don't seem to work at any time. Must be the little men in charge of turning them off and on go on vacation too!

    Me too! A weekend out of town means I might not poop for days. Must be that I forget to pack the Intestine Toll Booth Operators.
