Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I heard briefly on a you tube from a Guru that a woman should not eat until 10am. I am a woman in my late 30's and I am very interested in my diet at this time. I thought that if you wait until 10am you will slow down your metabolism (which I definitely do not want). Can anyone offer me guidance in this area. Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi. I am a 40 year old woman who reads about yoga all the time. There are some things I have learned from yoga about eating that have helped stay slim and healthy. I personally do not like to eat much breakfast. I prefer just some fruit until real hunger strikes around 10AM. I really pay attention to my real hunger as opposed to what I " should " be eating when. In the morning, often all I want is a bit of fruit which works out if I want to do some yoga. What works for me is a light breakfast, maybe a more substantial lunch and then have dinner be the heaviest. But always pay attention, sometimes I really want some protein earlier in the day and that's OK. I eat only veg protein. AFter eating an especially heavy meal, it's not a bad idea to fast. Overeating was a big problem for me in my twenties. I have since learned to never overeat. I am happy to say I have changed this habit that was detrimental to my vitality, even if I ate healthy foods. I believe in eating with the seasons. When it's hot, it's very natural to eat more raw/cooling foods because the sun and warmth give you that extra heat and energy you need. But in the winter, I have to make a conscious effort to eat something warm and energizing to keep my warmth and energy. If I don't, I am perpetually cold and listless. Of course, everyone has different degrees of warmth within and you can follow your own intuition. Remember, your body can change though with your diet and it's good to modify. What's wonderful about Kundalini is that it improves circulation and warmth and that is such a blessing. I have more thoughts but I will stop there.

A woman can take a simple breakfast that consists of nearly 400 calories between 8 am to 10 am. Lunch can be between 1 pm to 2.30 pm. It must consist only a cup of rice. Add lots of vegetables and fruits. caffeine is bad for a woman's health. So it is good to take milk in the evening. Your dinner time is very important. Because it is good to go to bed at least 2 hours after your dinner. Dinner should be very light. Do not add any oily items to your dinner. Add a fruit or some milk before u go to bed. good luck!.
