    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

    hmm i ve heard about no eating 2 hours before you go to be, but if you work grave or a swing shift that would never work,

    So all those times I've pooed after 8PM must've been miracles if my intestines were shut down. LOL

    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.

    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.

    This one had me laughing out loud......very loud! Thanks I needed that!

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how religious dogma is created. Bacon cheeseburgers are sinful? In some circles, yes, they lead to damnation. :laugh:

    Dang. I ate at 8:01 pm yesterday. Guess all this food is going to become fat overnight despite my excellent calorie deficit.

    Everything else here in New Jersey is shutting down at 8 p.m. Why not the intestines as well? ;)
