the other day i was watching a talk show and they started talking about how if you eat a big meal like dinner after 4 hours prior to going to bed , that it results in more rapid weight gain and hinders weight loss ! i had never heard that before ! i did n't know the exact timing like that , but it 's believable and i know it 's harder for the body to use the energy when you eat late . i suppose it makes sense because your not burning as much calories when laying in bed then you would be otherwise right ? exactly , and since they do n't burn the body turns it into fat to burn later or something like that i think .
The cause of the surprise was learning about the impact of late-night eating on weight gain.
