Many have tried to lose weight by following a properly balanced diet made by a specialist but they did not know that this little trick was enough to obtain better results which was revealed by a latest discovery made by researchers at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston (United States ). The study was published in the journal Cell Metabolism.
The discovery is recent and promises to make big changes in the lifestyle of many people to help them lose weight. According to this study, in fact, in order to lose weight, in addition to a healthy and balanced diet, it is necessary to eat at precise times in order to leave the body time to keep the substances it needs and eliminate waste. The main theory of this study consists in the fact that the researchers have discovered that concentrating the meals of the day within ten hours is healthier and helps to lose weight in a balanced way by reducing both body weight and fat mass. The right time to have dinner would therefore be 17:00 calculating that breakfast takes place around 7:30 -8:00 in the morning.
Eating late makes you fat
According to the aforementioned study, therefore, eating beyond the 10-hour period that began with breakfast would be detrimental to our line and. therefore then, potentially, also for our health. The results were obtained by analyzing a sample of 16 overweight people who showed a high level of appetite. The researchers then measured, through blood samples, the levels of their body temperature, energy expenditure, samples of body adipose tissue. The research was carried out by making these people eat three times a day, only one group of them ate at these times 9:00, 13:00 and 17:00 while the others at these times: 13:00, 17:00 and 21:00.
The research results were therefore surprising: in fact, research participants who ate later had lower levels of the hormone leptin which indicates satiety while they more than doubled levels of hunger. Genetic tests therefore seem to suggest that fat growth also goes hand in hand with eating later in the day because in fact doing so burns 60 kcal less each day and therefore it is easy to understand how this means that you will get fat. So say goodbye to snacking, both if you want to stay online and if you want to lose weight!
