Fat tissue and blood collection makes this an interesting approach.

Try not to eat shortly before going to sleep, is what I take from this. Otherwise, how does your body know that lunch is really breakfast and supper is really lunch? It’s got to be that last meal immediately before sleeping that has the most impact, in my mind.

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

Thanks! I need to lose weight.

” When participants ate later, they also burned calories at a slower rate and exhibited adipose tissue gene expression towards increased adipogenesis and decreased lipolysis, which promote fat growth.”

Lessens the chance of Acid reflux as well.

Does the amount eaten late matter?
Meaning, in my opinion there is a difference between eating a meal or a full serving, vs eating 6 Pringles potato chips and an orange.
The chips and fruit are a Snack, not a meal or full serving.

I think they need to study the impact on sleep, I think there is a correlation affect between sleep and the late eating that is causing this study to be skewed.

Working from home these past two years, we’ve drifted to having dinner be around 4. This feels better for me.

OK, fwiw, but what worked (and works) for me was eating later in the evening. I shed 55 pounds eating one meal a day around or 8 or 9 PM.

Yes, I’m sure it’s better to eat mid day or whatever, but it was too easy to yield to temptation. Figuring that after 8 hours of sleep I had a good start on the days fasting. Can’t eat while I’m asleep, right? Then, skip lunch and dinner. After 23 to 24 hours combined with 800 to 1000 calories, maybe more - a pretty decent fat burn level is reached.

It’s really easy to slip into the “well, let’s just eat an hour earlier today. You’ve been good!”. And then the next day. Pretty soon the 8PM feed time is 5PM. Then 4PM .. 3PM..

Whatever time you choose, better stick with it.

For me, it’s important to get some quick, relatively hard to digest protein in my stomach as son as possible after I wake up. A hard boiled egg, chunk of cheese, can of tuna or some jerky seems to kick-start my metabolism and staves off hunger to the point where I only need a small lunch. If I dither and prepare an elaborate breakfast and eat any hour or more after I get up, it seems to not only slow me down, but for some reason I’ll be even more hungry when lunch time rolls around.

Switched from a light breakfast to a large breakfast (6:00 am) because I was told that would "get the furnace going" and I'd lose more weight.

After a year of no weight change, switched to a b'fast of a granola - gnawing hunger for most of the morning, but got used to that about the time I started losing weight.

Lesson:
Small b'fast, decent size lunch, ONE SERVING dinner, (and nothing late).

This study supports existing research which is already convincing, the ideal pattern for weight control is no eating after about 7 pm, with sleep hours within the normal range.

Obviously for people working off shifts, it gets more complicated. Which is why people working the late shifts tend to put on weight more than their day turn counterparts.
