Bert,

At times there are things that I would like to participate in that
involve food but are not within the 5-10 window. If I do a 2-7 or 3-8
window on a given day, does that make any difference? or does that
mess with the metabolism?

Also, if I unthinkingly eat a bite of food several hours outside the
window, does that mess with my system? I was checking some watermelon
for freshness the other day at about 2 or 3 and picked up a piece
without thinking and ate a bite.

This may seem trivial or even obvious to other people, but it is on my
mind and I don't have the answer.

Thanks, Arlene
