Say Goodbye to Late-night Snacks!

According to a new study pusblished in the International Journal of Obesity, eating late-night snacks may contribute to weight gain more than if the same snacks were eaten during the day.

"Simply modifying the time of feeding alone can greatly affect body weight," said the researchers of this study.

The study was conducted by the Northwestern University. They found that eating at irregular times influences weight gain. Over a period of six weeks, two groups of mice were fed. Mice fed during the day (when they normally would be sleeping) gained more weight than mice fed at night.

The finding might help people trying to lose weight, the researchers said. It's time for you to change the time of meals by cutting back on the late-night snacks and eating more during the day.
