When you eat may be more important than what you eat?

The late-in-the-day eaters did tend to be breakfast-skippers, and they showed a higher level of insulin resistance. But according to the researchers, these differences alone didn’t explain the variability in weight loss between late and early eaters — and neither of these factors was correlated with the amount of an individual’s weight loss.

The researchers’ best guess is that that eating later in the day messes with the body’s internal clock system, known as circadian rhythms, and this might somehow have an adverse effect on metabolism.

 

 

 

 

“The circadian system is made up of a master clock in the brain and peripheral clocks in most cells throughout the body. Normally, the master clock synchronizes all peripheral clocks, similar to the conductor of an orchestra. When meal timing is abnormal this leads to de-synchronization between these different clocks, resulting in a cacophony.”
