 | | 3 / 14 Myth 2: You'll put on more weight if you eat at night
Fact:
Your body doesn't know when calories are being consumed, but if you find night snacking piles on the pounds, it's mainly down to what you eat, not when you're eating: Studies show that dieters who restrict their calorie intake in the day are more likely to crave more unhealthy snacks later at night. Which obviously backfires if you're trying to lose weight.
To drop the pounds, you need to be consuming fewer calories than you're using up -- try upping your activity level with regular moderate exercise instead of going on ridiculously low calorie diets, and you'll lose weight no matter when you're eating. On a side note, it's a good idea to avoid late-night suppers so you're less likely to experience indigestion during the night, says Mason.
