262. Does Late Night Eating Really Make A Big Difference On Weight?

A new study by Harvard Medical School investigators at Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that when we eat significantly impacts our energy expenditure, appetite, and molecular pathways in adipose tissue. Their results are published in Cell Metabolism. Frank Scheer, HMS professor of medicine, wanted to understand if the time people eat at matters everything else is kept consistent. Each participant they looked at completed two laboratory protocols: one with a strictly scheduled early meal schedule, and the other with the same meals, each scheduled about four hours later in the day. They found that eating four hours later makes a significant difference in hunger levels, the way people burn calories and the way we store fat, had profound effects on hunger and the appetite-regulating hormones leptin and ghrelin, which influence our drive to eat.   So if you tend to be a late night eater and are struggling to slim down –  see if you can eat your last meal or snack one hour earlier this entire week and see if you see any positive shifts in your weight. If not, stop eating a half-hour to one hour earlier next and assess. Slowly shift your window earlier until you find the zone in which you notice your body losing weight.
