Whaaat?? Are we surprised? It just feels better to go to bed on a slightly empty belly! (Early here means early dinner, but I like concept of an eating WINDOW of six to eight hours.)
People who eat dinner before 9 p.m. — or at least two hours before going to sleep — have a 20% lower risk of breast and prostate cancer than those who eat after 10 p.m. or go to bed shortly after supper, researchers found.
Also see my six hour eating window post here.

FINAL UPDATE: It was great, but not anything that we haven’t already learned here at Project Waistline. I would like to point out that the green smoothie issue has been settled according to published research reported by nutritionfacts.org that explains satiation is sufficient if we drink our smoothies very slowly, swishing water in our mouth every once in a while to keep dental acidity low. Since mine is loaded with greens, and I sip it while I’m working all morning long, I get full! I also don’t think that good quality bread is a bad thing (in healthy individuals), but I realize it has to be limited for all people, as does whole grain pasta.
UPDATE: Hope you guys registered for this webinar (link is below) b/c they sent me this:

https://nutritionstudies.org/plant-oils-are-not-a-healthy-alternative-to-saturated-fat/
plant oils experimentally promote cancer much more than does saturated fats—that’s right. This is an experimental observation that is at least 30-40 years old.
From a practical perspective, however, this mainly refers to added oils-isolated from plant sources. It does not refer to the oil within those plant-based foods because plants contain lots of antioxidants to keep the tissue damaging effects of ROS [reactive oxygen species] under control. In my opinion, this is a primary reason for avoiding consumption of added oils. Another reason for avoiding these oils is their contribution to total calorie intake which displaces, in effect, the consumption of calorie containing whole, plant-based foods.
