still had brain fog) was really “carb hangover” for lack of a better word.

I appreciated this line, very informative. I never related too much to
protein in morning. Merely acknowledged that it sounded logical. But have
been forced into eating 3x a day and looking at this more closely. Tabitha,
that’s me with the carb hangover, and feeling like i can’t start til late in
day. Have to eat early, just to eat enough. Energy picks up when I do.
Carbs at night comment by Teresa helps me place the 3 meals. Exactly the
sequence I probably should follow.
Still learning.

<< Hi Teresa,
You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO right!!! In the “American diet” where they eat cereal
or pastry or some carbo for breakfast, is totally wrong! Eat your dinner for
breakfast, lunch for lunch, and breakfast for dinner and you won’t go wrong.
Don’t forget about the food combining effort to help you along.
Amen, I now eat dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner

Lunch maybe or maybe not (depends if the kids leave me alone that long LOL)

<< I am reading an interesting book by Sidney MacDonald Baker M.D. “The
Circadian Prescription.” It states that there is a major biochemical cycle
in the morning called “adrenergic chemistry.” Proteins are required in the
morning to supply the materials needed for the proper function of this cycle
and to create a state of alertness and activity. If instead, you have
carbohydrates in the morning, you will lack energy and alertness and have
difficulty concentrating.
Carbohydrates eaten in the evening will maintain the high blood sugar level
required for the body activities of the night (detox, repair and
restoration)
and will also help for a better night sleep.

This is interesting as it is basically what I am finding in
practice…eating proteins in the morning provides me with more energy
to last throughout the day and my body feels happier when I have an
evening meal of carbohydrates.

Classic t’ai chi practice recommends exercise at dawn when external chi is at
its most useful and powerful to as taken in by the lungs during gentle
exercises and stretches. Might there be a connection?
