Weight Loss FAQ’s (2)

Q What about excessive late afternoon or night eating?

A. The general trend for a number of weight gainers is to… eat less food early and higher energy dense foods from mid afternoon onwards. This is a major cause of weight gain, not because of lower metabolism at night but simply because people eat too much in this zone of the day. Authors recommending major food group avoidance at this time of day, will often get success in weight loss for their client, not because of some metabolic shutdown but simply because the recommendations make people eat far less energy dense food. If you eat less you will generally lose weight.

So the simple answer is control your afternoon and night eating. If you get this zone of the day under control you will go a long way to getting success.
