2009 Handbook of Life: 2. Eat Breakfast Like a King, Lunch Like a Prince, and Dinner Like a Beggar.

Ahhh! The great topic of portion control but with more valuable information!
My wise doctor (Dr. Sakaliba Mines), used to tell me to eat dinner for breakfast and make it the biggest meal of the day. It’s called the Reverse Diet. She said that the brain needed the nutrition in the morning to keep the body going all day. So, I tried it and it really made a difference! Instead of cereal with milk, I would have scrambled eggs (with sea salt and tumeric for seasoning), roasted asparagus, a little applesauce, and half a sweet potato (with cinnamon of course). Not only was it the best breakfast, but I didn’t get hunger urges during the day and had more energy. When I’m doing what I’m “supposed to do,” I add 2 smaller meals (nuts and raisins for example) for a total of 5 meals to keep my digestive system active and happy and my metabolism up.
And, it’s no secret that eating less later in the day when you are less active makes sense. It takes more for your body to digest food when you slow down your activities. Less food at dinner also has a direct impact on the quality of your sleep. When your body slows down into the state of relaxation, it will not have to continue processing the food you ate for dinner. Of course the quality of the food you eat makes a difference too, but that’s a subject for another day!
