Obesity, Overweight and Late Eating

New research suggests that late eaters are no more likely to be overweight or obese than anyone else. It's what you consume the rest of the day - especially in the morning - that counts.

Americans who regularly skip breakfast are 4.5 times more likely to be fat, researchers found. But, in good news for the nibblers among us, those who eat four or more meals a day are actually on the thinner side.

"We tend to eat because of external cues instead of internal cues - we eat until the plate's clean. If the plate has a lot less food on it, perhaps you'll be eating less," says Ruth Kava, director of nutrition with the American Council on Science and Health.

Researchers launched their study because experts don't fully understand how eating habits - such as the timing and frequency of meals - are linked to obesity, says study co-author Yunsheng Ma, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

Weight Loss & Weight Management
An increase in physical activity is an important part of your weight loss program. Physical activity improves your muscle/fat ratio - thus raising metabolism for easier weight loss - and boosts your motivation to maintain the weight you lose.
