f*** that anarexic shit. FOOD IS MIGHTY DAMN GOOD
f*** that anarexic shit. FOOD IS MIGHTY DAMN GOOD
Buddhist Monks in South East Asia (Burma/Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand) - eat a bowl of rice with vegetables at 6am, and then their `main meal` at noon - again a bowl of rice with some vegetables. After the noon time `meal` they eat nothing whatsoever until the next morning at 6am. The monks are usually up by about 3am to wash and spend a couple of hours in meditation before breakfast.
The vast majority of these guys appear to be slim and fit. Many hours of their day are spent meditating. Many of the monks only sleep about 4-5 hours a night.
There is/was a famous over 50 runner in the Los Angeles area (who runs around 4 mins. for 1500 at age 50 plus, and around 31:30 for 10km) who also had an interesting diet - he simply only ate once a day...yes once a day, after his workout....and then nothing for the rest of the day. In addition to this, the runner (whose name escapes me now) also fasts on Fridays....every Friday of the year. He is about 5.9 inches and weighs around 115.
The question is - how the runner (the elite master) is able to get the calories needed to replace the work he does in training?
Any other runners with unusual eating schedules? Food for thought....
i've posted on this topic on the bakken forum before.
the hormone production is at peak at night and caloric intake before going to bed disturbs the prodcuction of hgh and melatonin.in europe "dinner cancelling" is quite popular.just stay away from any calories after lets say 4pm and you'll sleep better(and less), recover better, feel better.I do this 3-4 days a week and have no problem keeping my weight(bmi~20), i also fast a day ocassionally.
So when you stop eating at around 4, what time do you go to bed? Should you stop eating later if you go to bed later?

Nolan Shaheed. I believe he ran an 800 in 2:02 the day
before his 55th birthday.

doctors/scientists say you should stop caloric intake ~14h before you get up in the morning.
and leave your body in a calorie-deprived stae while sleeping? got any cites for that claim?
What do Buddhists Monks do for society?
google dinner cancelling, altough you'll find mostly german links.in europe every doctor/nutrionist has a chapter on dinner cancelling if he writes a book, every magazine publishes tons of articles on it.
actually it is has become so famous because of it "anti-aging" effects.

why not? you're only using enough fuel for you basal metabolic rate, unless you sleepwalk. If people think you need extra fuel during sleep it's no wonder the nation is full of porkers.
I don't eat dinner either. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I eat carbs to jump-start my body and brain, and a good and healthy lunch. I run in the evenings, around 7, after the Texas heat has settled a little.
I am 1. never hungry after running and 2. I go to bed early, aroun 9. I believe in a good and healthy 8-hour sleep.
A meal in the evening will sit in your stomach and turn to fat. You have no way to get rid of the energy you just consumed.
6 meals a day is the way (small of course)
The daily routine varies somewhat, but the following description of monastic life at Wat Mahadhatu in Bangkok may be considered generally typical:
The monks rise at 4 a.m., was their faces, clean their teeth, and sometimes bathe. They then put on three yellow robes; 1) the Sabong, 2) the Ciiwaun, and 3) the Sangkhaati.
Monks next kneel and light candles on the Phra Prathaan (altar to Buddha). After ritualistic bowing, kneeling, and chanting comes meditation. After meditation it is time for walking . These walks are made in pairs and serves as an opportunity for confession. All this occurs before sunrise. The monks then return to their quarters and rest awhile. After rest they take their alms-bowls and receive food offerings from the laity waiting along the roadsides. The monks then consume their breakfast from 7-7:30.
Morning chants, prayers, and instruction follow until 11-11:30 a.m. when the monks take their main meal of the day, which must be completed by 12 noon.
After the noon meal, the monks rest and then read texts until ~5:00 when it is time to bathe and rest. At 6:00 more instruction is held until 10-12:00 pm at which time they retire.
If I didn't eat anything from noon until the next morning, I would be ready to chew my leg off.

If they do, they're quacks, and you should be getting a second opinion.
I knew a monk that could cut the mile in 4:11. That is faster than my pr.
I'm 44..BMI of 19...can't run 31 min..but I can crack 34.
I eat like a pig...can't fast for more than 2 hours. I sleep like the dead for 8 hours. I would never "cancel" any meal..shit, as Americans we didn't evolve to the top of the over-indulgence chain to turn around and starve. I also drink beer like Homer Simpson.
I have trouble believing (in other words, I doubt) that the food we eat past, say 9PM is just sitting in our stomachs, turning into fat as we sleep just because we didn't run it off. I'll be the first to admit that I'd love to know whether or not that's true...
Could be why you got that C in A&P.

actually all monks run sub 4 miles, they just do it in secret(its a requirement for becoming a monk)
they also eat 6 times a day(in secret too)
