I hear alot of people lately talking about how they stop eating at a certain time of day to be "healthier" and I wonder where they are getting this information. I know Oprah talked about that a few years ago, but I believe she stopped eating 2 hours before bed time...whenever that was. This makes sense to me because it will help you sleep better, but I don't think it has alot to do with health unless you are eating nothing but junk after dark.
I was at a friends house for dinner the other night and one of the people at the table was not eating. Someone pointed out that he did not eat after 8pm and everyone at the table (except me) starting going on and on about how healthy that was. Apparently I was the only one at the table who noticed he was pounding away the rum and cokes. I counted four drinks in the first hour he was there alone. I am the first to admit I am no expert, but I am pretty sure eating a balanced meal would have been much healthier than drinking a bottle of coke and a bottle of rum.
The lesson here is use a little common sense when it comes to your health. Eat when you are hungry, eat healthy clean foods and don't fool yourself into thinking things like alcohol are healthy even in moderation. I'm not saying you have to stop drinking ( you should, but I won't get into that now), I am saying if you are going to do it at least have the self respect to acknowledge that you are doing harm to your body and definately don't try to tell me you are being healthy by getting wasted and not eating because if you do I will be forced to out you to the world ... at least the section of the world that reads this blog...
