It is no news that eating fatty food piles on the pounds. However, the time we eat may be crucial as what we put in our mouths... research suggests.
There is, therefore, a warning that "eating late is likely to be contributing to rising obesity levels", quoting scientists.
The warning comes after tests on mice. One group were allowed to eat only during an eight-hour period, while a second group could graze on what they wanted all day and night.
US researchers found that even though the two groups were eating about the same amount of calories, those who ate at set times during the day did not become obese.
They suggest that those who ate when they wanted to, gained weight because they disrupted their body clock – and they believe the same principle may apply to humans.
