Breakfast time, does it matter?

[AngieBabyWeight]

Hello, i just found this page, haven't been to the store yet. Anyways, i'm a late sleeper, usually 10am or 11am and I usually go to bed late as well, around midnight, but often as late as 2am. I'm willing to try to put myself to bed earlier, i mean, i'll get in bed, don't know if i'll fall asleep or not until i've gotten used to it after a few days of coarse.

But what i'm wondering is what time exactly is breakfast. If i eat breakfast of banana's at lets say 11am, then a lunch/snack at 3pm, then whatever for dinner at 8pm, will that be ok, or does it defeat the whole thing?

Hi, Angie!

Well, all I can say is give it a try and see what happens. But the dieters in Japan usually get up early, by 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., and eat breakfast shortly after that.

I'd say that if there's a real reason for your schedule (e.g., shift work), it's O.K., but otherwise your schedule may just represent a certain lack of self-discipline that affects not only your waking and sleeping times, but also your eating, and getting back to a normal schedule may help you in many areas, including your weight.

Ok, i'm awake. sorta. been hitting the snooze for the last hour. Went to bed at midnight, but lied there awake until nearly 3am! O'well, i still don't have any banana's, i guess i'lljust substitute with apples this morning.

I know how you feel! I used to every once and a while try to stay up all night and as much into the next day as I could, until I crashed, to try to reset my body clock to go to bed early. It was only partially successful. When you're used to staying up to a particular time, it takes a while to change that. You're sort of "jet-lagged."

With me, it just sort of creeps up. Maybe I'm going to bed at a good time, because I went to a trip to the U.S. and returned to Japan, so I'm on U.S. time and sleepy in the evenings. Then every night I go to bed 15 minutes later, and I'm back to staying up late. The Morning Banana Diet doesn't have a lot of rules, but one of them is the bedtime rule, so having that solid rule may help prevent the "creep."

I think that you can change the breakfast/lunch/dinner times as long as you keep the main rules in mind and leave a 4-5 hours gap between dinner and going to bed (I think that's one of the most important points)
Good luck with your diet ^^
