I do feel like I am on a bit of a health regime at the moment ... change of diet and dog walking! Could the pounds be about to roll off ? Well, maybe if I can leave the compensatory chocolate alone ...hmm

Yes, I had heard it is better to eat a main meal at lunchtime, but never had the chance to in my former job. DH and I are working out meals between us so sometimes I will cook and he can reheat at the end of the day and vice versa. Just takes a lot of thinking about at the moment.

"Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper" would be great if you had the servants to get it for you.
Earlier in the year, due to health problems, I had my main meal at lunch time and felt better for it. Now I'm better I've reverted to the evening, just too busy!

It is thought to be much healthier for you to eat your main meal at lunch time, so hope you will eventually feel better for it.

We have had to change to a main meal at lunchtime to suit Paws needs and apart from having to be a bit better organised in the morning, it is rather nice ho know the cooking is “over” for the day! Evenings tend to be soup/omelette/egg on toast or something very light (needs more ingenuity than the “soup and a roll” which used to constitute lunch)

I have had to change the way / times I eat this week because of my new job. I am having my main meal at lunchtime instead of 6:30 ish - and very little time to snatch a bite in the evening, so I am making it a 'good meal.' Just struggled through macaroni cheese and a heap of vegetables on the side, but feeling distinctly heavy now!
And I think my brain and body are asking ' What's going on?'!

Funny isn't it, how we get so used to a routine. I think this might be a permanent adjustment , at least for a couple of months so I guess I will settle down, but for now - bleurgh!

Anyone else had to make a big change to eating habits?
