Do you eat before you go to bed?

[Wendee]

Some say eat a few hours before bed to avoid nightmares and digestion problems.

I say the heck with 'em. I like to eat before bed somettimes.

Do you eat before bed, and if so, do you eat raw or cooked?

the time when i fall off my band wagon the most..... :o

I NEVER eat after 7. Sometimes not even after 5. I have a pretty slow metabolism (damn thyroid!) so I find that my digestive system works soo much better when I don't eat before bed, otherwise I just feel the food sitting in my stomach all night long. NOT fun.

My bed time is very unpredicitable so sometimes I may find myself not yet in bed but hours since I have eaten.
It will always be fruit. It gets rid of the hunger but will have transited quickly and not keep me awake. 2 pears is just perfect for me.

As a food addict/compulsive eater, I never watched the clock while eating. I ate when I ate and slept when I slept. I often fell asleep after eating. I would sometimes wake up hungry, eat and go back to sleep. Now that I am raw, I find I am doing that less and less. I still have my addiction, however, now I am making better choices of what goes in my mouth and when. Raw is wonderful.:D

-I ate fresh, raw plant food at ALL hours while transitioning. After eating well for many years....I simply felt more comfortable and full by the end of the day. So for the past year or two I don't eat after dark. I'm just not the least bit interested. Just my experience.

After discovering I had a slow metabolism, I have started trying to stop eating a few hours before bed. Sometimes it happens. Sometimes not. I feel better when I don't eat after dark. More energy, lighter, etc. If I do eat I try to eat something that digests quickly. On the other hand, dh can eat at all hours. His digestion is much faster than mine. However, he is also SAD and I don't think he really clues into his body signals right now.

I never eat before bed. Throws off my CHI and the whole yin/yang thingy ;)

I usually don't eat before bed unless I am up way past my regular bedtime. I get hungry about every 2-3 hours. I eat pretty much on a schedule. 7am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 5pm and 8pm. If I find myself hungry in between these times I will snack on a fruit or veggie.

My bad. I'm eating cacao/avocado pudding (yummy) at night while watching tv. At least I"m not eating ice cream......

I eat when I am hungry and if it is right before bed I eat. It is probably not the best though.

I try not to eat before bed. I don't like the feeling of food in my belly when I lie down. I also tend to be STARVING when I wake up if I eat before bed (as opposed to a couple of hours prior) ... and I don't like that feeling either, lol.
