In fact it is the prospect of a good grouse once or twice a week that keeps him getting up in the morning. Avila might very well be perturbed or even insulted by the comparison of her metabolism to a linebacker's, and equally she might be one of those sedentary, thoughtful girls who tend toward puddling in the haunches. If, however, she wants to flaunt the boyish figure currently the desirable type, she must grow up, as raincoaster so succinctly put it, and forever abandon pizza at two in the morning. Is life really this cruel? You betcha. In taking up his vaunted position here in the Manolosphere, La BellaDonna, Mr. Henry never promised to be even-tempered.

The only tram which may fatten <b>and flatten you dead</b> is the “oh my feet hurt and I’ve had a long day so I’ll skip my workout” tram. The others will merely fatten you. The latter may not, in fact fatten the lucky, with the fast metabolism, but it will flatten them, nonetheless. It is the Not Working Out that lurks, waiting to drop us in our tracks - it is that which kills. And a cup of bitter brew, and an extra pound or two, for your unwarrented assumption! I know that when I was a college student, I did NOT have the digestion of a linebacker, nor could I eat any darn thing I wanted, day or night, and would have been mightily perturbed by your assumption that I could. In fact, since Avila wrote to you in an effort to discover how to combine the "healthy eating" with the "nocturnal biorythm", it is quite possible that she does not.

S/he must redefine her/his terms. Breakfast is the first meal after you get up. For me, that's between 2 and 4 pm. Lunch is the second meal, around 9. Dinner is the one you have around 3am. And the nightcap is the one you enjoy just as the birds start to sing. If you find you are unable to locate restaurants who will cater to these hours, you have the option of cooking for yourself or becoming a raw vegan. Growing up is the process of making choices like these.
