Timing
is everything for losing weight .
In the
latest collaborative study, researchers at the Brigham and Women’s
Hospital, Tufts University and the University of Murcia in Spain, found that
the time of day you eat large meals may help to predict how many pounds
you drop.
In a
study published in the International Journal of Obesity, the scientists
monitored 420 overweight participants on a 20-week weight loss program in
Spain. The volunteers were split into two groups: early-eaters and late-eaters.
Since lunch is considered the largest meal in Spain–about 40% of the day’s
calories are consumed in the mid-day meal–half the participants ate lunch
before 3 p.m. while the remainder ate lunch after 3 p.m.
