Well Im up at 5.45am and out the door by 6.30. I have breakfast in between.
I have lunch between shifts at 11am and dinner when I get home from work at 6pm.

these are great suggestions that i will take on board. i also have a glass of water to help feel full at meals

I try and eat at the same times but I always feel rushed.

I am so bad at this. I eat at really weird times

Great advice. I tend to woof down my meals as feel I am always in a rush. I know I need to slow things down.

My mum always insisted we eat meals at regular times and we were forever listening to her tell us to chew our food properly. I guess mum’s really do know stuff!! LOL.

very wise words indeed. My mum always said a meal was to be enjoyed not galloped down at a frantic pace!

I love this article and know it all to be true. But, the reality of my life is different. I do try to stick to the times suggested and pretty much do for breakfast and dinner. Lunch is often out of whack due to work and I can look at the clock and realise “oops, it’s 2.00 and I haven’t had lunch”. This tends to be on one of my 3 work days. Otherwise, I can manage the right time. I am a bad eater – I eat fast. I often comment on my husband who takes a mouthful and puts his utensils down to eat. He has a great metabolism and his a slower eater. I shovel the food in, rather than enjoy. And I have a slow metabolism. I can certainly take some tips from this. Thank you.

aftr being ill I have conciously chosen or made food from real food not pcket or preprepared food.At times even make my own bread ,lots of veg,fruit and nuts. I also take smaller bites and CHEW well before swallow, lots of waterand coconut water now and then. Feel and look better so it is working for me. More energy and motivation and have lost weight not dieting eating well and smaller portions. I still indulge in choc or desset now and again

Always eat slowly and consciously rarely doing anything else when eating. Am now following the new rules by eating within a smaller time frame – later breakfast and earlier tea – as this is supposed to be optimum for our bodies. However, indigestion has always been a problem for me and my doctor believes it is because I take in air when talking rather than when I am eating. Love to hear your comment on this.

This is so true. I always try to stop and eat slowly and enjoy my meal. Not always possible with 2 little ones

Some good pointers. I know sometimes I definitely eat too quickly, & I know that most nights I’m eating dinner after 7pm. Worth thinking about changing the routine.

A very interesting article. I am very much an eat at the same time person but that is largely because I need to work meal times around my 2 month old and 2 year old’s schedules!

I eat healthy, don’t skip meals, am usually relaxed when I eat. But I admit I probably tend to eat too fast. I must keep an eye on this

Very good tips. I know I eat too quickly. I’m usually having my last mouthful when everyone else at the table still has half a plate of food. I will try to be more mindful and slow down.

Very interesting read, thanks!

I believe that is indeed true what you say. I never skip breakfast, even if it’s just a piece of fruit. Generally around 6:15 during the week. In the weekend I first go out with the dog and then I eat, so it’s often later, around 8 maybe. I’ve got almost fixed times for lunch (1 pm) and dinner (7:15). In the evening eating earlier doesn’t really function. While at that time we are all home and we can enjoy dinner together. Very difficult that I eat after 8 pm.

  Sounds like you are almost following the new regime of eating within a 10 hour period rather than grazing throughout the day and evening. It’s working for my household with slight weight losses – hope it works for you.

I eat my meals generally at the same time and the only time l rush is usually at work in my lunch hour!

Great tips! I skip breakfast and eat late do I definetly need to change my habits.
