As stated in my post, the rest of the population (well, most of the rest) is on a different schedule that doesn't fit with the two meals a day.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-90743389061111705962018-10-15T22:20:33.857-05:002018-10-15T22:20:33.857-05:00My in-laws all practice this as much as possible a...My in-laws all practice this as much as possible and I do believe it is healthier and would prefer it, but my husband and son won't go for it. :-/<br /><br /> <a href="https://www.d2bet.net/" rel="nofollow" title="D2bet">D2bet</a>cocoyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453378287663610413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-67673457445269325262018-10-15T17:08:47.070-05:002018-10-15T17:08:47.070-05:00DDD - Why, thank you for your kind words! Funny t...DDD - Why, thank you for your kind words! Funny thing. We had a breakfast around 8 o'clock this morning because we knew someone was coming to help Papa Pea with a special project and had invited him for lunch . . . which I served at 12 noon. Now at 5:04 p.m. I still feel so stuffed that in no way do I want to think about dinner tonight. I feel like I'm really screwing up my digestive system today and that it doesn't like it!<br /><br />Rain - I know you and Alex have operated on a "different" eating schedule and say if it works for both of you, go for it! Probably the fact that you're both home during the day makes it possible as does the two meals a day for us.<br /><br />Susan - We've even tried having our "bigger" meal at noon time, when we were eating three meals a day. I didn't like that mainly because I had to stop my activities in the middle of the day to prepare the more substantial meal. Now on this two meal a day thing, we both find we're not hungry between the meals and don't feel like we're eating just because the clock says it's time for one of the three meals. Make any sense?Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-17391561538841365152018-10-15T13:32:10.939-05:002018-10-15T13:32:10.939-05:00An excellent idea, especially backed up by Papa Pe...An excellent idea, especially backed up by Papa Pea's outstanding research. I find that I only eat two meals when I am home all day - mostly because I am busy and don't bother to stop for lunch. It doesn't seem to make me more ravenous and I feel much better when I have a larger meal earlier. And "YAY" for not having to cook that extra meal every day!

I personally haven't eaten three meals a day in over 30 years I think...When I first set out on my own, I worked in bars and restaurants while going to school. So I'd snack a little all day, eat my dinner at work, then snack again at night. I guess that old habit has stuck with me. Alex and I only have one meal a day at dinner time, I have a piece of toast in the morning, and we snack at night while watching movies before bed. It works for us, I guess that's how we keep the weight down since I make such high-calorie rich meals!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-70209711233638144542018-10-15T08:01:55.714-05:002018-10-15T08:01:55.714-05:00I am intrigued that you could make the change.

Well, seems reasonable as we all eat and, I think, have been concerned at one time or another about it . . . for one reason or another.<br /><br />This two-meal-a-day thing would be difficult if we both weren't on board with it and home all day so I understand why it wouldn't work for some. And, of course, 'twould be impossible if all parties eating in a home weren't on board with it.<br /><br />I tend to think that snacking (or grazing) during the day is one not-so-good habit that we all can get into. Talk about no rest for the digestive system!<br /><br />So far, we're doing quite well on the two meals at different times than we're used to. Have had days where exceptions had to be made, but we'll see how long we continue this.<br /><br />Thanks for all your comments!

The usual no children then children then children grown and gone and so forth. <br /><br />For the last six years and cancer/chemo/immune disorders have ruled meals , content of meals or none at all. Now with the newer challenges combined with the original it got even more odd. <br /><br />For the last several months it has been each to there own. We donβt have meals together as he mostly grazes when he dies eat and often he simply doesnβt. <br /><br />I have a slice of my homemade sourdough with a friends local honey and coffee with goat milk . What else?π<br /><br />Then I too graze fruit , nuts, or if more is needed cereal or oatmeal. <br /><br />At somewhere around 6 pm I have a light meal. Eggs, meat, cheese and veggies squash,sweet potatoes etc. and a small salad. <br /><br />I have been known to take a snack a bit of ice cream. A few pieces of dark chocolate. Right now it is apple pie. I had a great time at the Apple festival two weeks ago. And brought home 3 boxes of apples. So yes lots of Apple fueled snacks.

But we are bedtime snackers. And my husband sticks to it during the week while I graze all day at my desk out of boredom.

So much of how and when we eat is habit. Dan is one for going by the clock. Usually we eat breakfast around 6:30 and lunch going on 12. On Sunday, we may have brunch at 9, but he's still ready for lunch at 12! I'm just not hungry then but all too often eat my regular portions anyway. Trouble is, food habits are some of the hardest to break. If you and Papa Pea are in this together, though, I see success in your future!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-26620989644771286372018-10-12T01:32:16.113-05:002018-10-12T01:32:16.113-05:00That sounds like an interesting experiment to try ...That sounds like an interesting experiment to try as it leaves a good portion of the day in which to do things without having to stop and get food on the table!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-38486855017076534842018-10-11T19:49:59.851-05:002018-10-11T19:49:59.851-05:00My in-laws all practice this as much as possible a...My in-laws all practice this as much as possible and I do believe it is healthier and would prefer it, but my husband and son won't go for it. :-/Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-30729241953263048212018-10-11T19:19:47.188-05:002018-10-11T19:19:47.188-05:00I've heard it called "intermittent fastin...I've heard it called "intermittent fasting" or I.F.
