Doesn't matter - as long as it's healthy. Just reverse the "normal" order; eat dinner for breakfast (there's no rule that you can't have spaghetti and meatballs with an antipasto for breakfast, or a steak dinner, or...), a healthy lunch and eat a healthy breakfast (could be ham and eggs, could be a Greek salad, or...) for dinner.
The point is, if, as has been dictated to us since the Industrial Revolution, it is deemed that we eat 3 meals a day (originally to accomodate factory work schedules) and are no longer hunter/gatherers, make them 3 healthy meals - big, medium and small, in that order. It's all about sustaining energy throughout the day, which is to say, fueling those needs at the right time. Eating many small meals, grazing, throughout the day as we did when we were hunter/gatherers, is even healthier as it keeps the metabolism humming along and energy level high - for which reason, I think, hypo/hyperglycemics are told to eat in that pattern.

I recently saw a story (Fox News?) that indicated naps help solve problems. Have a difficult issue/decision at work? Take a short nap. Upon awakening, you will be better suited to solve the problem.
While searching for that story, I found this: Student napping detrimental to health, academic performance - Features |

You know I may go to the doctor, haven't been to one in many years. Ticks, no, none around here, but a huge orb weaver scared the f*** out of me last night. OPened the garage door, drove the car in, was going to walk out the door and right in my face was the spider hanging down. body was close to half inch in diameter, it was massive. Used a prybar to catch his single strand web and move him but he fell...these spiders aren't very sturdy, body broke right open like a squashed blueberry, and you could hear the thud!

Nap. I hit the wall every day at 2:45. 10-15 minutes with my head on the desk and I'm back to work, no problem. If I don't put my head down, then I either go into that hallucinating half sleep where you end up typing eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee on your computer, or I get grumpy and start making mistakes.
It doesn't help that my office is always 5 degrees too warm.

I like biking in the mornings and would do about 37 miles 2 or 3 times a week before 9:00 in the summer. It's not possible now with my daughters' school schedules and the darkness. I did find that on those days when I did the full 37 miles, along with some bowflex and elliptical machine before sunrise (45-60 minutes combined) and then an hour of Aikido at lunch time, that I'd would need a 15 minute catnap around 2:30. I figure at that point I had kind of gone over the top a little.

when I have a nice breakfast - no problem all day... Rice and beans work for me (costa rican style, gallo pinto, discovered that on vacation) - of course not eveyone is ready for a "meal" at breakfast ! |

yesterday was a good day, very productive. I guess I should have listened better in third grade, breakfast is the most important meal, but then it was hard to focus with Michelle Rhiebold sitting next to you.

This is key. And the elimination of sugars. And no carbohydrates in the evening. None. Ginseng and Gingko Baloba on top, and you're laughing.

Don't eat anything white, refined sugar, white bread, white rice, flour, all bad. High fructose corn syrup is freakin' poison, avoid it like Dipso avoids reality
If you are under stress, you need more physical activity. Do it early in the day and it revs up your motor for the day. Will also help you sleep better. If you are getting adequate, quality sleep at night, you should never need to take a nap. Light meal late, low carbs, high protein, biggest meal in the morning, like farmers used to do. Drink more water than you think you need. Don't abuse caffeine, try going off coffee completely, switch to tea.

Bumping this older thread due to the 2 posts referring to Ginseng, which I was researching a bit as a health supplement.
One of the posts was from our old friend Dottore who wrote: Quote:
