    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,

    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? ;)
