Remember to eat when it's time for lunch. Be careful if you eat too much, you will get fatter! (Photo/Excerpted from new york's Chosun Ilbo) new york's Chosun Ilbo reported that a study conducted by Murcia University and two other universities in Spain allowed 420 overweight or obese Spaniards to participate in a five-month weight loss program. They are all required to eat a Mediterranean diet (high protein, high fat and various vegetables) according to the instructions, but the time for eating Chinese food can be decided by the participants themselves, mainly divided into
After five months of experiments, the results showed that the group that had lunch before 3 o'clock lost 22 kg, while the group that had lunch after 3 o'clock lost 17 kg, with a difference of about 40%. The same diet has different slimming effects. Frank, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, said that people who eat late for lunch usually don't eat much or even breakfast, which leads to a slower metabolic period after 3 pm, but they consume more calories, so that the body can store all the calories and fat at one time, reducing the consumption of calories.
The researchers also compared other factors that may affect the weight loss effect, such as total calorie intake, appetite hormone, leptin content and sleep time, but there was no significant difference between the two groups, so it was speculated that meal time was a key to hinder weight loss. However, due to the differences of food culture in different countries, the research results may also be affected. However, don't be on an empty stomach for too long. This is definitely a rule that applies to all countries.
