| TheBigFatJ said: The idea that eating at night contributes to gaining weight is not proven, and is believed to be a myth. It doesn't matter so much when you eat, as long as it is reasonably balanced, and within your caloritic expenditure. Just don't eat like an greaseball. Americans have the deck stacked against them already because our portion size is much, much larger than most other countries. Eat healthy, stop when you begin feeling full, and don't eat if you aren't hungry (this can be tricky for some Americans who misinterpret low energy with hungry). I play very few games for fitness. DDR is one of the only games I've ever introduced into my workout routine, and I'd still be doing it but because of a little rascal it's become inconvenient. |
If you want to know the really sad truth ... most of what we 'know' about weight loss and nutrition has never really been proven (and much of it has never been tested at all); this isn't to say that anyone contests that reducing caloric intake and increasing excercise won't result in weight loss, but no one can say (for sure) what the impact certain diets have on hunger and/or weight gain have.
