The time of day in which we eat may affect our weight!

I would love to showcase one of my favorite blogs "threeapplesaday," authored by an old friend of mine, Kate! She is a very talented writer, and I love reading her blog on healthy habits & food!

I'm excited to share her blog entry titled: "Late Night Snacking: It May Affect Your Weight"

"In the study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, one group of mice ate a calorie-restricted, healthy diet; the other ate a high-fat, high-calorie diet. The second group was split into two groups; the first was allowed to snack 24/7, while the second was restricted to eating just 8 hours of the day. At the end of the study, the researchers found that the mice on the restricted but high-calorie diet stayed just as lean as the mice on the health-fare diet. Compared to the mice who noshed 24/7, the time-restricted feeding mice were protected not only from obesity, but also from hyperinsulinemia (elevated insulin levels, which is a symptom of Metabolic Syndrome), glucose intolerance, leptin resistance, and increased inflammation; they also showed improved motor coordination."
