My faith in doctors is fading.<br /><br />Yes, I think that's my problem - eating too big a meal in the evening. But I enjoy it then that's the trouble.<br /><br />Bit of a catch 22 isn't it.<br /><br />I only have denner when I'm with my Dundee pals. :)subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-45801511793339435452012-05-21T12:45:07.028+01:002012-05-21T12:45:07.028+01:00This reinforces the results of a study last year w...This reinforces the results of a study last year which broadly concluded that it's the food you eat after 6pm which puts on the weight.<br />To the estimable JRB I would point out that it is by definition impossible to cut out breakfast, unless you go on hunger strike.<br />You will break your fast, whether you call it brunch, luncheon or denner.<br />In my youth, the expression "You'll have had your tea" did not refer to the optional afternoon tea with scones and red jam which we read about but never had. It referred to the main evening meal which was not called dinner or supper but high tea. And it generally just missed the 6pm curfew.<br />As for seeking professional advice, I think the old adage should be updated: a doctor is someone who has faster internet access than his patient.Hamishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401451754373118599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-3898302861118867322012-05-20T23:13:00.260+01:002012-05-20T23:13:00.260+01:00I appreciate your concern JRB and bow to your supe...I appreciate your concern JRB and bow to your superior knowledge. As you are aware evening is when I enjoy my main meal and that perhaps is the problem as you say.<br /><br />When I lived in Germany and Switzerland the evening meal was an open sandwich or something similar and they were surprised we ate so much after 6pm.<br /><br />I've never enjoyed breakfast JRB, even when on holiday but you and others insist it's necessary. Perhaps I'll just move it to later and reduce, even more, my evening meal portions. Soon it won't be worth cooking anything. :)subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-11017989892748913592012-05-20T23:09:12.524+01:002012-05-20T23:09:12.524+01:00It used to be dinner when I was wee Joe and I thin...It used to be dinner when I was wee Joe and I think that's because it was a three course meal, but became lunch when I was in late teens.<br /><br />I will keep you informed. Will be interesting because I don't really enjoy breakfast so having it later might have some effect.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-87975296040655240642012-05-20T23:07:39.689+01:002012-05-20T23:07:39.689+01:00I don't think I could influence the certain MS...I don't think I could influence the certain MSP Barbarian.

But I have severe ...Sorry to rain on your parade …<br /><br />But I have severe reservations on what you are about to undertake.<br /><br />(Now how do I put this tactfully -) At our age, breakfast forms an essential and vital part of our daily diet and wellbeing.<br /><br />People are not mice – whilst on the cellular level there may be biological and biochemical similarities. As a total living entity <i>Homo sapiens</i> is a far more complex and complicated than the simple <i>Mus.</i><br /><br />What is important is not only when we eat, but what we eat at that time.<br />For too many of us we now eat our main mail in the evening when all we are about to do his sit in front of a box for several hours before sleeping for the next eight hours.<br />We should take the greater part of our calorific input prior to the day’s activity, ie the two meals of breakfast and lunch. The evening meal should merely be just a light top-up for lost calories.<br /> <br />Omitting breakfast only puts unnecessary and unwelcome strains on our metabolic processes and our carbohydrate balance.<br /><br />As always, it is best to seek professional advice in such maters.JRBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864418763227369458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-62974278639275739582012-05-20T11:02:27.051+01:002012-05-20T11:02:27.051+01:00An interesting posting again Rosie.

[BTW most of my contemporaries called the midday event Dinner - presumably the reason assistants in schools were/are called Dinner Ladies & not Lunch Ladies?!]<br /><br />I note your attempt 'for research reasons' to temporarily omit breakfast. Brave you; even if it's just (healthy) cereal & milk, I believe that's the meal that sets you up for the day.<br /><br />Please keep your readers informed of your progress.Joe Publichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829909061904690380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-33945464249405768942012-05-20T10:49:19.403+01:002012-05-20T10:49:19.403+01:00I like this article, but it won't stop my eati...I like this article, but it won't stop my eating habits!<br /><br />Perhaps you could send the link to a certain SNP MSP who has a problem with timing her lunches.......Barbarian of the Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546237341963301419noreply@blogger.com
