That’s why your body temperature and metabolic rate fall.
Researcher Courtney Peterson, Ph.D., who earned her doctorate in physics from Harvard before moving to Pennington to study nutrition, has just completed two groundbreaking studies on meal timing. Her findings show that late-night eating disrupts insulin sensitivity, raises blood pressure, and decreases fat burning.
“We think that eating later at night causes your body’s clocks to be in different time zones, getting conflicting signals about whether or not to rev up metabolism,” she says.
In one of her studies, subjects ate all three daily meals between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Early results showed that they burned more fat and felt less hungry than a control group eating meals on a normal schedule. Peterson says the first group’s biggest complaint was feeling too full on the compressed schedule, not feeling famished at nighttime.
One alumnus of the study, Jeff Coslan, from Independence, Louisiana, says he dreaded that overstuffed feeling eating dinner in the early afternoon, but at the end of the five-week test run, he’d lost weight and all of his numbers—blood sugar, blood pressure, lipids—had significantly improved.
