It’s always been a given in my fundamental training when it comes to losing weight – stop eating several hours before bed to enable your body it’s best chance of processing and removing waste and repairing the body while you sleep… instead of spending time digesting.

I found this interesting article on a study of mice eating in between sleeps (ie late night snacking) gained 48% more weight over time… vs mice eating during their day cycle (not when they should be sleeping) only gained 20% more weight. There were limited variables – they all exercised the same amount, ate the same amount (60% fat) etc..
Late Night Eating Linked To Weight Gain

Was a very interesting read.
