Want to Lose Your Weight? Avoid Dinner!

A diet high in carbohydrates and low in carbohydrates is still a matter of debate without end. Opinions about what the most effective exercise to lose weight is still under debate. The debate about the best foods for weight loss are also still ongoing. In the midst of the debate is frustrating enough, there is a fact that: Eating at night is strongly associated with overweight and obesity. Eating or snacking in the evening close to bedtime can make you fat and it seems to have been experienced by many people.

There are two recent studies that analyze the relationship between eating at night by weight and of sleep with weight gain.

The first study focused his research on measuring the effects of feed at night on the energy metabolism. The researchers studied 11 healthy women who ate 210 calories in 10 or 11 at night for 13 days. After 13 days, researchers measured the basal metabolic rate of each group. The survey results revealed that eating at night close to bedtime makes them worse metabolism. Eating at night will reduce fat oxidation (the rate at which fat is metabolized into energy and not stored as excess fat deposits) and raise levels of bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol).

Similar to the first study, a second study has the objective to analyze the relationship between sleep and weight gain. In this study, 52 volunteers were involved. As a result, those who eat at night close to bedtime is known to affect weight gain because they have a tendency to consume more calories at night.
