The Warrior Diet - that ONE meal

[Guest guest]

Hey all, seems to me there's a lot of focus on the fasting/feasting, without

looking much at the actual feasting meal. Could there be something

*magical* in it? <VBG>

The reason I ask is that both my daughter and I were of the type who woke up

and if we didn't eat something right away, we started to feel sick. If my

daughter went too long (which could be quite fast by the clock) she'd be on

the verge of vomiting. When I switched to FRDing it, that completely ended

for me! I was thrilled to not wake up hungry and to not HAVE to eat right

away. But there was my daughter (only 8) with it still going on. I was

(and still am) NOT comfortable with putting her on a fast/feast schedule,

but I did wish that she too could be free from that terrible need for

calories first thing in the morning.

The only thing that changed for my kids is that they eat the evening meal

with us, in the same order and over the same amount of time that we do.

They may not eat as much salad as the adults, but they sit with us and wait

for the meat course. They general finish it before us also, but I don't

serve them their next course until we are all ready to eat it. In general

they eat more of the third course (potato for example) and the occasional

fourth course (an NT dessert) than the adults. Here's the kicker! My

daughter is no longer feeling nauseous in the morning and having to eat

right away! I no longer have to immediately cook up the oatmeal (or

whatever). The other day I decided to see just how long it would be before

they asked for food - TWO HOURS! They had been up for two hours when they

asked about breakfast, and it was because they were hungry, not because

they were feeling sick and needing to eat right then.

The difference in the evening meal is the order the food is eaten in (not

all served on one plate at one time) and the length of time we spend eating

(has increased). Any thoughts?
