Schedule

I know the diet says you can have a snack at 3 pm. But I am wondering, because of my work schedule, if it will be okay to have your snack at 5 pm if I wouldn't be eating dinner until 7 or 8pm.

Someone asked about eating dinner after 8:00 p.m. and doing the snack at 5:00 p.m. because of a work schedule, in the Mixi.jp forums, and the answer ignored the snack question, but said that the best thing to do was eat a small amount of something before 8:00 p.m. (when dinner should be), something like a rice ball (o-nigiri), and then eat dinner later. This was to get something into your stomach and get your digestion working on the schedule it should. This diet is really into "digestion" and regular scheduling.

Personally I think that if whatever you did was regular every day, it would be equivalent to the orthodox diet. The only problem might be if you couldn't get the 4-hour space between dinner and bedtime.

Hey Amanda - me too, I can't have dinner till 8pm. I have been on the diet since Thursday last week, and I have seen no results yet, and I have been snacking at 5pm and dinner at 8pm. How are you going with it now? :)

Well, unfortunately I currently don't have a scale so it's been difficult knowing if there has been a difference. I did order one online so I have one on the way.
