Morning Breakfasts May Make Weight Loss Easier Starting the day's meals at noon linked to impaired fat metabolism

Sleep deprivation and frequent circadian misalignment are known risk factors for packing on the pounds. Now a small study presented here suggests that routinely eating meals late in the day or at night also increases obesity risk independent of how much sleep people get. After controlling for sleep duration, the laboratory study involving healthy volunteers found that compared to eating during the daytime, prolonged eating that began at noon and went as late as 11 p.m. was associated with weight gain, increases in insulin and cholesterol levels, and impaired fat metabolism. https://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/APSS/65895?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2017-06-09&eun=g721819d0r&pos=4
