Meal timing may affect weight loss outcomes

I overslept in the morning and rushed to the company without even having time for breakfast. I was busy in meetings all day and had a quick lunch at the convenience store outside the company. When I finally got off work, I always had to reward myself with a hearty dinner. Do the above lifestyle habits look familiar? But that could derail your weight-loss plan.

"Cell Metabolism" recently published the latest publication from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the United States. The research team used mice as experimental animals and gave them one low-calorie meal a day. However, the time of eating varied among the groups. Experimental results show that the time of eating may affect the effect of weight loss.

The authors said that based on the results of this study, if humans want to lose weight by adopting a low-calorie diet, eating during the day may be more effective than eating at night.

The study was published in Cell Metabolism, Vol. 26, No. 1, pp. 267-277.e2
