Hi all

I am trying to do this plan without the centres. So far all has been good and I am learning as I go. I have a couple of questions though. .. Should I eat my starches before a certain time in the day? Also Fruits? I noticed that Cassi said that you should try to get your fruits in before 4. What is the reason? Is it the sugar?

Thanks for everyones help.

I think they like you to have used up your starches by dinner at the latest. I normally use mine by lunch, and just skip them altogether at dinner. For fruit, yes, I've been told before to eat them earlier in the day, but I often have one left over in the evening. If that's the case, I try to keep it lite, like blueberries in my yogurt or something like that.

That's what my friend was told - to get her fruits & starches in before say 3-4pm. She thought it was bogus - tried it for a week and lost 4 lbs ! She was kinda at a stand still - gaining or losing 0.3 or so lbs.

So when I started back up doing the plan I did the same - so far it's worked for me. There are days that it just doesn't work out, but for the most part I try to get them in before 4pm.

Thanks so much for the info. I guess the lesson is if you can do it, it shows better results. And that is what I want. Thanks again.
