Simple until Six

The author of this article was a vegetarian until 6 pm each day. Over the course of four months he lost over 35 pounds. Interesting concept.

Everything pointed to a simpler style of eating. I started following a diet that was nearly "vegan until six." Until dinner, I ate almost no animal products and no simple carbs (no white-flour products, junk food, or sugar-heavy snacks). At dinner, I ate as I always had, sometimes a sizable meal including animal products, bread, dessert, wine -- you name it -- or sometimes a salad and a bowl of soup. I also took several long walks each week (my bad knees couldn't handle more).

I haven't read it yet but I wonder if it helped with productivity--no bad sugars and carbs to slow you down.

The author doesn't state that emphatically, but I have a feeling it did.
