tonethisup Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hey guys! I am currently on Day 15 of my W30, yippeee for me! It's been going good and I am still going strong, to the point where I am considering turning this W30 into a W100 but we shall see how that pans out. My question for you all is regarding dinner time. My weekday schedule is wonky. I don't usually leave the office which is about 35minutes away from home until about 5:30PM-6:00PM and I have to make two stops before I even get home. I usually make dinner to last us a few nights so I am typically cooking about 2 nights a week, not too bad. My main issue is that we end up eating dinner very very late. Anywhere between 8:00PM-8:30PM, sometimes it's already closer to 9:00PM. I try and get to bed between 10:00PM and 11:00PM. Do you guys think eating dinner this late in the day is affecting my progress? Are late dinners a complete no-no? Some say yes, soem say no but I am more curious to see what others on this forum have to say about this. Thanks in advance guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 20, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 20, 2013 Ideally, we recommend two hours between eating and going to bed, but mileage varies. I can eat dinner an hour before bed, but some people find that it increases their restlessness in bed later in the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonethisup Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks for your response Tom. For me it's not so much that it causes restlessness it's more of worrying that I go to bed without my food properly digesting. Or that this is some way can stall my progress.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 21, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2013 As someone who has gone to bed with recently eaten food in his stomach many times, I can say it did not cause me problems, even when I was just starting out on my Whole30 journey. You may be more sensitive than me, however, so just watch things and see if you notice any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi Staddon Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Thx for asking this q. I've often wondered myself. Situation dictates a late dinner for me also, usually 730 or 8. Then bed pretty much as soon as I can, usually an hour or two tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2A&M Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Is it better to skip dinner for proper hormonal response and wake up hungry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
