    Bob gets up in the morning and goes for a power walk. His body doesn't give a crap that the calories came from yesterday rather than today.

    Is there any science to support your claim?

    Absolutely! It's pretty difficult science though.

    So, what about drinking soda? I'm trying to get my head around the science but wondering if the reason why I put on weight when drinking soda is because the gas bubbles makes all the food in my stomach sit at the top for hours and hours, rather than being digested? You seem to know your stuff and hope you can help me :smile:


    It's ok, I know the science of weight loss can be confounding at times....although I have to say that you are very perceptive because you are right, having soda make *all* your food float to the top is as bad as having it all settling to the bottom...it just means you'll get a fat torso rather than a fat *kitten*.

    So; there are two solutions for you:

    1. Moderate your soda intake. Take a few sips, then a few bites of your food, then a few more sips so that everything is a bit more mixed up.
    2. Invest in my Gyronator 3000; proven to gently mix your food into small, non-fat making particles. This man lost 350lb with a healthy 'low density food diet' and 30 minutes a day on the Gyronator 3000 and he's never looked back!

    Did you cite the wrong article? I read the entire thing and it was basically just speaking to the issue of taking exogenous GH. No one here was advocating any artificial use of rhGH--so why go there? The article actually affirmed that the majority of our natural supply comes during sleep but nothing further was said about it. It did mention that exercise does stimulate natural GH production, but other research has revealed that nighttime secretion is still the most plenteous.

    The problem with eating late at night is that when you lay down all the food settles in whatever direction you're laying down and then sinks into your body as fat!! So lay on your back and all that food is going to turn into a fat *kitten*....lay on your side and your late night meal with settle into fat hips....lay on your front and you'll get a bigger belly.

    Eating during the day whilst you're moving around means the food never has a chance to settle and become fat; instead it swiches around and gets broken down into smaller and smaller pieces as you move around until they're too small to even become fat...and then your body expels them.

    FACT.

    Perfect. ;)

    Why are all you people resorting to silliness? I think the OP was trying to track down a subject and the sarcastic tone is really juvenile and mistreating what is, to her, a serious subject. While I agree that the timing of eating is irrelevant to weight loss, there were other issues raised in addition to that one.

    I eat before bed every night. My lifestyle hasn't allowed me to do it any other way and I've been successful in losing the weight and keeping it off. My personal deduction ... Your body adjusts. Eat less and move more.

    While I agree with you on the parameter of weight loss or maintenance, there are other health issues. I think we all pretty much accept that meal timing is irrelevant to weight loss, but overall health is, or should be an important concern as well.

    The issue of natural GH being suppressed by eating a lot before bed.
