Rule #18

“In the physical realm, you know what happens when you haven’t eaten: your stomach feels empty, maybe a little achy, in need of comfort.  You crave carbs.  And yes, carbs can make you feel better in the short term.  But as you now know, that benefit soon turns into a hunger-producing monster.  In the psychological realm, overweight people are often lonely and anxious; eating before bed is nerve settling, comforting.You will burn fat like crazy if you do it.  The absence of carbs in your bloodstram will let your body produce the hormones it needs for better sleep.  And with good sleep comes other benefits-muscle repair, brain-chemical balancing, and increased energy during the day.HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF COMPLYDon’t eat three hours before going to bed.  Don’t eat after 8pm.  Don’t eat anything after dinner.  You decide.  Your body will respond: denied fuel for more than five hours, your body will start burning its own fat and sugar.  That means that, if your dinner was at 8p.m., you’re burning fat by 1a.m."
I don't STRUGGLE with this rule necessarily.  The kids and I RARELY eat after dinner.  Mostly because dinner is so late anyway because of our schedules.  However, I'm not sure why sometimes I reach for something out of the cupboard some nights....I've been doing well lately with this though so yay me!My menu is EXACTLY the same as yesterday, however the egg muffins and banana were scarfed in the car because I was sure I was going to late for work, so that wasn't exactly an ideal situation!  LOL.  Oh well, the weekend is upon us and I'm determined to do well this weekend.  Tomorrow evening I'll be making homemade chicken soup for some of favorite peeps.  We've all been feeling a little under the weather so it's time for good old fashioned down home cooking.
Have a happy and healthy weekend all!
