AARRRGH

Both of her posts are pimping this site. Obviously a shill.

Mrs K

Aarrrgh i'm not a shill, just thought it was a good site, the reason I posted twice was I thought it was more relevant to boards, rec, fitness. That's all. Gaytron if you're so perfect why are you looking at fitness boards! Maybe you should go and get something for that cough!

Khannie

I use this site myself. It actually is just a good site and it's popular enough that they don't need to shill it on other forums. Thanks Mrs K and welcome to boards.

heh heh Gaytron...nice one! well i just saw you had 2 posts with the same stuff in it pointing towards a site. Just set off some alarm bells for me that's all...the site itself reminds me of something like an educogym site with loads of fit smiling people on the front of it, looked a bit fake is all. I guess i was wrong, i'm ok with that. I wasn't the only one to say something though.

I'm not at all perfect and well aware of my shortcomings, why am I on a fitness forum? Because you can always improve on yourself and if you stick around here for a while you'll pick up some great information!

Gaytron out...(no homo!)

According to that site; "There is no real concern with eating late or close to bedtime".

Surely that's wrong? Thought your body didn't properly consume food or something along those lines if you went to bed after eating? Your body slows down or something like that?

it's called online marketing... (both directing traffic and upping google ranking etc)... a new poster joining a boards and in the first 2 posts re-directing to a 3rd party... deffo alarms bells...

Yeah, I agree it's alarm bells, but spark people is just too big for that kind of nonsense. Sometimes people are just genuinely excited about it. Some of the articles they deliver to my inbox are pretty decent.

KKV: Total calories is the biggest factor. Personally I'd rather keep my calories for when I'm awake but I don't think timing is that important. Obviously it's not great to stuff yourself then have a kip though (except the obligatory post christmas dinner armchair kip...god I love that).

Hi All

I would just like to respond to KKV's point about eating late at night.

I train after work from around 18:00 ish to 20:00 ish and by the time I shower, dress and get a bus home, it is around 21:00.

I will have had a PWO shake (2 scoops whey, 1 scoop glucose, 5g creatine & 5g L-Glutamine) before my shower and will have a dinner consisting of a protein source and veg, which I will probably be eating at around 21:30-22:45.

I then hit the sack at 22:30 as I am up each weekday morning at 04:45.

I have been eating like this for over two years now and I have no trouble sleeping, no problem with either gaining or losing weight, depending on whether I eat a calorie surplus or deficit.

Now it won't be a huge meal and I certainly won't feel stuffed after it, but the last proper food I will have eaten will have been around 16:00 (pre workout) and I don't think I could go till the following morning on just a PWO shake.

Thanks Khannie, I thought it was just a good site. Send me some great emails, hope to keep it up to shed few excess post-baby pounds.

Sorry Gavtron, it was a typo that's all. I don't care about your sexuality!

Appartently it makes absolutely no difference what time of day somebody consumes calories. People doing shift work for instance may always have to eat after 8pm!
