Weight-loss is not so painful. Just eating lunch after 3 pm can help us to lose up to 25% weight, a Spanish study reported. Apart from what-to-eat, when-to-eat also matters for people who are in weight-loss diets.
Modern lifestyle and food habits break the body clock and timely food intake. This alters the metabolic process and increases body fat cycle with food cravings.
Moderate calorie intake with adequate time intervals can be helpful to resist sugary treats and soothe hunger pangs. Healthy, fibre-rich fruits and vegetables can increase satiety and reduce hunger.
The present study conducted by Salk Institute researchers followed 420 people who were in a weight-active program. Around half of the participants ate food in 8 hours gap, a day, thrice a day. All the participants took lunch after 3 PM. The Spanish people are well-known for a late lunch, after 3 PM.
When compared to frequent eaters, participants who ate in 8 hours gap with lunch after 3 PM lost their flab by 25% after the study period. However, late lunch was not useful among frequent eaters.
According to scientists, the fat cycle has been interrupted in late lunch eaters that can burn the stored fat, naturally. However, they warned against skipping breakfast or lunch and even grand slam lunch.
The study results have been published in the International Journal of Obesity.
