| I just wrote a long post about this, but while I was writing it my session expired and I was logged out. So I lost everyting. I don't feel like re-writing it (took me 25 minutes), so just look for yourself. The Food Timing Diet I will say one thing - it's awesome |

| The linked page, as just a marketer's tool, is not useful to me... I am familiar with the idea of eating more often to keep metabolism up, but what does it mean, "not what you eat, but when you eat"? Is that just marketer-speak for "when you eat"="all the time"? ~Jm4362 |

| Well, not really. There is more to the diet then eating often. You also need to cycle macronutrients. The very first thing you eat should consist mostly of carbs, the next meal should consist of fat, the next meal should consist of protein. You also must eat the very first thing in the morning - as soon as you wake up. Start the day with carbs. Finish the day with proteins. |

| Hello Moltar, did you already try out what's written in the book? Did you feel ok by following it? Can you give some more details, I won't be able to look into it before 5 years or so (live in Belgium, Brussels)... Thx, Nick |

| I started it about 4-5 month ago and I am still on it. I started eating in half hour intervals first, but 2 month later switched to 1 hour intervals. It was just more convinient this way (I go to college and classes are 1h long). What's written in the book definetely works. I lost 15 kilos (22lbs) this way. But even after I was done loosing weight, I still keep going eating this way. I think this is the better way to eat as I feel more energized this way. What kind of details are you looking for? |
| |||
| Yea, and besides telling you when to eat it also teaches proper nutrition and explains why junk food and sugars are bad for you. It talks about many things that make a lot of sense to me. It doesn't sound like one of those fad diets, this is just a proper nutritional diet. |

| Here is an example day of my life. Sometimes I write everything down just to keep track of what and how I eat. Every meal is separated by an empty line. Quote:

| I am amazed by the amount of food you're taking. Do you feel healty? Thanks for your quick answer by the way... I had this idea for several years already but never heard of read about it. It seemd logic to me too. |

| By the way, The Truth Publishing is work of Mike Adams who also runs News Target and other large "awareness" type websites. He was a real eye-opener for me on the whole food and drug industry, I had a huge paradigm shift after reading his websites. |

And to answer your second question, yes I feel super healthy, better than ever before. Almost never get drowsy after meals anymore, no more heartburns and always full of energy! Last edited by moltar : 12-05-2006 at 02:15 PM. Reason: spelling hearth burns = heartburns |

| I kind of already eat like this, except it's more like eight or so meals a day, but very small ones, like one may be a handful of walnuts and three or four Triscuits, etc. I always have at least one meal that contains all vegetables, though. I also eat one with just nuts or seeds, or combine them with granola or something. Sometimes I eat unhealthy things, but I've almost mastered that. The solution is to either remove them from your household or put them out of reach. My candy bowl is on top of my cabinets, so if I want candy, I have to get out a chair to stand on it. Not worth it anymore. |

I think I understand where you are coming from with this question. The thing is, I really don't care what others will think of me and/or my diet, so I do whatever I want. I also carry food around with me everywhere I go (e.g. nuts, dried fruit, protein shakes). When my friends eat at some place when we are out, I don't usually eat, I'd get a tea or something and just sit around and talk. When time comes to eat, I bust out my own food |

How to prevent losing a post you've typed out and other typed data Anyway, feel free to get back on topic. Quote:
I used to drink (non-vegan) whey protein shakes with (cows) milk quite often, but after I found out how whey is actually made (it’s even illegal to dump into sewers), I soon put a stop to that. Since then I've also stopped drinking cows milk (I’m basically vegan at the moment) and tried protein shakes made with soy protein powder and soy milk, but found the taste of the soy protein powder to be pretty average (ok, VERY average bordering on pretty bad... at least compared to other protein powder I've tried). I'm aware that protein powder shakes aren't the most nutritious things in the world and it's much better to meet your protein requirements from food in your diet, but from experimentation I found I recover faster from weight training workouts if I've had a post workout protein shake. While you can blend food with high protein content and have that in a shake instead of a protein powder supplement, that option isn’t ideal as it’s pretty hard to match the protein content of supplements (at least, from my experience – if you’ve found otherwise I’d love to hear about it). Some may argue that you don’t need much protein in the first place, but when you’re doing a pretty hardcore isolation weight training split (I train for both strength and hypotrophy, so I guess you could call it “bodybuilding” rather then just “weight training”), you’ll generally find otherwise (again, this is from my experience; your mileage my vary).

| And this diet really works also on the long run?

| Moltar: You said you were a vegan in an earlier post, but you also have salmon on your list of things that you eat. I thought vegans did not eat any animal products. Can you please explain this? Thank you.

1 large banana (130g) 70g of Nutribiotic vanilla rice protein 40g of sunflower seeds 2-3 tsp of stevia Water (can sub for soy milk) Blend it all together in a good blender. Makes 3 portions ~ 175 calories each. I don't think everything you consume has to be high in nutrition. I think having 2-3 drinks a day like this is not bad at all, considering, of course, that you eat well all the other times (e.g. fruits, veggies, grains, fats, etc...) How "long" is the long run? And why wouldn't it? I've been eating like this for a few month. I think it's long enough I dunno, it might be silly of me, but I think fish isn't an animal. Thoguh I would like to stop eating it, but I can't afford other sources of protein at the moment. But I will eventually cut it out from my diet. Fish is currently the only contraversial product on my list. Everything else I eat is 100% vegan. |

The questions is: Why? Quote:
Dieting is hard enough, this kind of approach complicates it even further. There is nothing wrong with eating a balanced meal, i.e., carbs/fat/protein.

| This makes absolutely no since at all. What we eat effects our hormone levels and every function of our bodies through the flow of blood. If you eat carbs one meal, and nothing else, you will spike your sugar levels up. How can you eat one meal based on fat? Your body needs fat. However, it can not be healthy to eat one whole meal based on it, you'll consume too much. Same thing with protein. You need a balance of all three to maintain your energy when it comes to your blood stream. |
