Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 > Do the chores at the same time but eat after the chores instead of before. That's all I can think of. I think that way the meal might be too late, too close to bedtime. How much time do WD'ers leave after the end of the meal before going to bed? And she might be too hungry to wait, unless maybe she could have a salad first, then chores, then the rest of the meal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you describe above sounds like an ideal solution. She might even want to consider the salad a part of the undereating phase rather than a part of the warrior meal. Otherwise, if she can do what you suggest and still fall within the 4 hour parameter she should be alright.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 The 4 hour feast.

Although, if the one large meal isn't pretty consistently the same time, that would either shorten or lengthen the undereating phase and I'm not sure how much leeway you have with that before you defeat the purpose.

I'm able to eat much more food that way rather than trying to stuff it all in at once. So it is not unusual for me to eat a course, get back on the computer for awhile, go eat another course, drink a beer, get back on the computer.....I think you get the point. And if you are eating in stages with a partner or family, it is quite fun and relaxing allowing for lots of activities and interaction between courses. Heck, I don't even cook the whole meal at once.

This is one of the emphases behind fasting for spiritual purposes, at least in my tradition. It gives you more time to devote to prayer among other things.

I would think that for a lot of people, to get home from work and eat a long, leisurely meal (which some people might have to prep from scratch rather than have it waiting for them :-), wouldn't leave much time if they want to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Granted my digestion is weak, but I find I can't even lie down for a couple hours after a meal. If I take an afternoon nap after lunch, I wake up feeling like a rock is sitting in my gut. So I'm amazed and envious that you can sleep well after a large meal. :-) - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I generally do four hours in the evening, but I work nights, so on nights I work I end up adjusting it. I usually eat before work and after work, and eat just protein and fat before work, and have carbs after work. It diminishes the benefit somewhat, but it is just modified.... I do it to the extent it's practical. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
