Weight Loss – Thoughts, Truth and Myth

Has anyone every told you don’t eat before you sleep? It’s not good for you and you’ll gain weight. Well I’m here to say it’s a myth, it’s calories in calories out. So if your under you daily requirements of calories just eat because you will most likely starve and the hunger pains will more likely cause you to overeat the next morning. At most if you suffer from heartburn then this may not be a good idea but if you don’t there’s no problem. (background here)

I’d like to think the process of eating is like keeping a inefficient machine running. What you put in it and the balance of it’s care will determine how well it runs. I’ll used the metaphor of an old clunker that you need and drive to work everyday. If you keep up it’s maintenance than it starts up well and runs well and treats you well. But if give it the wrong gas and don’t give it’s yearly maintenance check, oil change and replace parts on time you stand a chance of being out in west bubblef**k and stranded.
