It is pointed out that 'timing to eat' is important for diet, when is it best to take calories?

Many people should have been hungry at midnight or before going to bed and had something to do without wanting to eat. But these temptations are likely to be weight-loss enemies, experts say. On the other hand, research has also revealed that 'there are suitable time periods for calorie intake.'

Is body weight affected by when you eat? Here's what science knows so far

According to Alex John Stone and Leonie Ruddick-Collins, who are studying diet and nutrition at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, ' circadian rhythm ' is one of the factors that has a major impact on diet. It will be done. The circadian rhythm is commonly referred to as the 'body clock,' and is involved not only in sleep and wakefulness, but also in body functions such as digestion, metabolism, and regulation of appetite.

To investigate the effect of this circadian rhythm on the human body, John Stone et al. conducted a previously published experiment that intentionally disturbed the circadian rhythm and consumed at least 25% of the calorie intake per day at night. We conducted a study to scrutinize the investigation of the ' night eating syndrome ' that can cause illness.

As a result, it was confirmed that both intentional circadian rhythm disturbance and nighttime meals affect many important hormones involved in 'appetite,' 'energy consumption,' 'regulation of glucose levels,' etc. It was done. Since the experiment used as the research material was using mice, John Stone et al. said that 'more research is needed to apply it to humans', but 'hormone caused by disturbance of circadian rhythm and meal at night Changes in the diet increase appetite while lowering energy levels, which can lead to increased calories, reduced energy expenditure, and weight gain.'

While eating at night has been shown to increase weight, previous studies have also found that 'increasing calories in the morning leads to weight loss.' Daniela Jakubowicz, a researcher of diabetes at Tel Aviv University in Israel, said in a paper published in 2013, ``Even if the total daily calorie intake was 1400 kcal, 700 kcal in the morning compared to 700 kcal in the evening. The group that took them had obviously more weight and waist circumference.'

A 2014 study that compared people who eat breakfast daily with those who skip it also found that 'there is a difference between eating breakfast and the amount of calories you eat while you are thin and the amount of heat generated by physical activity. There is a causal relationship'.

Regarding the results of these experiments, John Stone et al., 'I agree with the results that taking most of the calories consumed in the morning leads to a significant weight loss. It is believed that calories in the evening do not promote activity, while getting more energy in breakfast can make you more active, and eating late at night can improve your circadian rhythm. It may be partly because it leads to a feeling of fatigue and reduced physical activity the next day because of the disorder.'
