hey Wendy - thanks for this video which inspired a big lunch today. lol

So, what you're saying makes a lot of sense and not surprised that Ayurvedic medicine also supports larger mid-day meals. It allows for more digestion during the time of the day our body is ready for most work.

The challenges as you say are - we usually have no time during the day. So, I guess the idea might be to cook and prepare food during dinner today for tomorrow's big lunch:)

Finally, I wish we lived in a culture where we had a big mid-day break and rest:)

Vishnu, I wish our culture encouraged a big mid-day break too! Let's change that :)

Hi Wendy
It's funny you should be talking about having your big meal in the middle of the day. I was born in England and it was always the case there. In fact people used to get 2 hours for lunch so they could have their big meal. Even when we moved to Canada my Mom made our dinner at mid day for many years. It makes sense, because your body has the rest of the day to digest all that food. After that I think we slipped into the Canadian tradition of having the big meal in the evening.
I really have been enjoying your blogs and videos and admire you for keeping it up so consistently. I need to take a page out of your book. Hugs to everyone.
Love Julie

Thank you very much, Julie! I feel so much better when I have my largest meal in the middle of the day. It can definitely be challenging with the day being busier, but the more I get used to stopping and doing it the happier I am and the better the results. Hugs back!

Thank you so much Julie! Actually, I've tried everything and nothing seemed to work. I was willing to try anything to alleviate my slow thyroid issues. As the doctor ordered, I tried the six meals a day, but that just seemed to make matters worse and there was no weight loss whatsoever!

In desperation, seeing that nothing else worked, I decided to go back to my Mediterranean roots and eat my big(healthy) meal at lunch just like my parents did. Well, a miracle happened!! My metabolism got revved up and I've been steadily loosing one pound a day on this satisfying and healthy way of eating. This could possibly be an important breakthrough in the fight against obesity and diabetes in this country!!

Leah, I am so happy to hear you are having success with it! That is great! Thank you for letting me know. It works well for me too. I think they're onto something in the Mediterranean. I love that we learn so much from them. Warm Wishes!

Lunch is kind of a big deal for me, since I eat most of my calories then (at least 50% but upwards to 80%). My other two meals are more like snacks. And I don't drink my calories, unless I view it as a snack. Never anything sugary. After flushing out the sugar in my body (thanks to a 2-week LCHF diet), so too went my sugar addiction. I hate the stuff, now. (The exception being fruit.)

Valerie, Isn't it amazing how much better you feel when you're not consuming so much sugar? Thanks for your comment. Have a great week!
