Does sleeping after meal increas ur weight fr short time??

Sumo wrestlers, when training in a stable, eat a calorie dense meal with a couple of beers and have an immediate nap to encourage the weight to stay put. I wouldn't advise it personally but with we 'normal' people it ends up evening out.

Myth. Sumo wrestler gain weight because they eat 20,000 calories a day, not because they nap after meals.

So I did checked my weight after bathroom today mornin...it is 105.8...so shud I consider that weight???....and mornin after bathroom weight is accurate???

Yes, that'll be the most accurate for the day, after a pit stop but before ingesting anything. Run with that figure.

it's all part of it. Lots of time in Japan = I've done some learning around this.

Really? I also lived in Japan and am part Japanese myself. Meal timing is irrelevant and napping after a meal or whatnot does not play into their weight gain. Eating at a calorie surplus is what causes them to gain weight.

fine, whatevs, not really the point. Something I've learned differs from something other people have learned, that's the way of the world. Not going to get into a debate about something I learned from multiple sources here.

Mmhmm. Okay then.

ETA: Just to clarify- cultural practices does not trump science. :flowerforyou:

I remember reading somewhere that during the first part of sleep your metabolism slows down, but once you get into REM sleep that your metabolism spikes up agian and you start burning more calories. I dont think napping after a meal will greatly effect weight loss, maybe you will lose 1lb less a year if you're constantly eating than napping.

I'm sure that there is science behind what you've said but it's not really the point of this thread (the sumo ) and i don't need to get drawn into a conversation about how wrong two people think I am that has nothing to do with the point is all. I'm not discounting what you say, just giving up on a conversation I don't really care about which adds no value to the OP question, really.

OP asked if napping would cause weight gain. You came in and said yes, because Sumo wrestlers do it in practice. Myself and another disagreed based on something other than cultural practices and assumptions.

Tell me how this isn't relevant or doesn't add to the topic when it is actually on topic.

ETA: To sum up what "I'm saying" - no, meal timing (including eating before napping/sleeping) doesn't cause or encourage weight gain despite what cultural practices may be employed based on other users examples on how they think correlation == causation.

Eating before bed might give you heartburn and indigestion, but that's about it. We've been consuming calories before we invented "time" as it exists today. Eat when you are hungry, not when the clock tells you to eat.

this initial point and refuting of that does. going on about how you're more right than me doesn't. you win. happy?

When person 1 is right and person 2 is wrong, it's a little misleading to say that person 1 is "more right" than person 2. It's more accurate to say that person 1 is right and person 2 is wrong.

In this case, I believe Joy is right and you are wrong.

It's not a debate. If you're offering scientific proof, then it's an exchange of information. However, no matter how many times I've heard people say that eating late in the day / sleeping after meals results in weight gain, I have yet to be offered scientific proof. My take on it is that if you can't offer proof, you're just spreading rumors.

More specifically, you are refuting your own point by saying that 'for normal people' it doesn't hold true. Number one, I don't see any indication that the OP is anything other than a normal person. Number two, physiologically, sumo wrestlers are the same as everyone else....in other words, they are normal people who eat at an especially high surplus of calories and limit their calorie-burning activity.

Now, it stands to reason that if a person spends a great portion of their day sleeping (whether immediately after eating or not), then they are burning fewer calories than an active person. So in that sense, this could lend itself to weight gain, especially when eating a very large amount of calories. However, these sleep periods (or other periods of inactivity) could come before eating or later. No difference.

Whether you've learned something that differs from that which others have learned isn't really the point. However, if you've learned something of which you yourself are unable to offer proof (as opposed to anecdotal "evidence"), then you may want to do yourself the service of examining the standards upon which you base your opinions.

I would like to add to the sciences about how I always eat ma ice cream and lattes about an hour if not less before I fall asleep and it has yet to hinder my loss.
