SUMMARY

And remember, these are NOT rules but gentle guides. If I get back late from a shift, it’s 11pm and I’m hungry .. I’m eating.
Do not restrict yourself on the basis of this information. It’s OK to eat late every now and again like for example on a Friday night with friends over wine.
There is a lot more to a healthy lifestyle and MINDSET than just restricting when you eat
