Eating Late May Stymie Weight Loss

When you eat, not just what you eat, may play a role in weight loss, finds a new study from Spain.

   

During the study, which investigated overweight women participating in a weight-loss program, those who ate lunch later in the day (after 3 p.m.) lost 25 percent less weight over a 20-week period than women who ate lunch earlier.

Researchers found this difference even though the two groups did not differ in the number of calories they ate each day, the amount of physical activity they engaged in, their levels of appetite hormones or their sleep duration, all factors known to influence weight regulation.
