A New Study Shows That We Naturally Crave Sweet and Salty High Calorie Foods At Night.
The Main Point:
“Our study suggests that because of the internal circadian regulation of appetite, we have a natural tendency to skip breakfast in favor of larger meals in the evening. This pattern of food intake across the day is exactly what Sumo wrestlers do to gain weight.” Read The Article In Full
The Lesson:
The cards are stacked against you but you can win with the hand you are dealt. If you play it right. Eat despite having a small appetite early in the day. By doing so hopefully you will have eaten enough calories through the day to be satisfied with a normal sized dinner. You'll likely sleep better as well which will help you maintain a healthy body weight.

I think I might have had a pear and a banana watching the B's get their rears handed to them… luckily there wasn't chocolate and I managed to avoid the beer in the fridge!
I definitely see the benefits of the fat today mark, (today, not the above comment...) I had about a quarter of an avocado with my eggs this morning and I made it to 1 without noticing that I needed lunch...
DeleteGlad to hear it, it's a little known fact in america that fat is a good thing when it's used right.
