"Staying up and eating late is a very recent phenomenon in human history." Can You Eat Late And Still Lose Weight? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/22/eat-late-weight-loss_n_1619425.html

This is too funny. Every time we have a thread about nighttime eating, people go totally wild! They love to eat before bed and just can't fall asleep unless they are so full their shirt buttons are about to pop. Joining this rampant choir are those who happily proclaim their pledge to the agreeable anthem of you can eat…

Maybe I should start watering my plants in the evening!

You may want to consider the oxidation of cholesterol. Go to work on an egg – every day if you like! http://www.nyrnaturalnews.com/food/2013/02/go-to-work-on-an-egg-every-day-if-you-like/

"Dr. Fuhrman says with a faster metabolism our body wears out quicker. This is due to oxidative damage. “In animals, energy expenditure is indeed inversely related to lifespan. Though both these mechanisms of aging are related, as a faster metabolic rate means faster energy turnover and greater production of free radicals,…

Yes that and The End of Diabetes: The Eat to Live Plan to Prevent and Reverse Diabetes by Joel Fuhrman. It's so simple really. Forget processed food, and the belly fat around your internal organs will go away.

That damn bag of potato chips! So harmful and yet so innocent looking. "The researchers parsed the data by the caloric content of the foods being eaten, and found the top contributors to weight gain included red meat and processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages and potatoes, including mashed and French fries. But the…

It was well worth it though, the über-quoter turned silent haha.

Chapter five about making willpower automatic in the book The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg touches on that willpower can be non-existent at the time your alarm clock rings in the morning which was set because you thought the day before it would be a great idea to do the daily…

What would happen if people stopped going to McDonald's?

The $25 co-pay for an appointment with my doctor who suggested to try 1300 calories per day and log my food to lose some pounds I had put on in the last few years. MFP was a big help. The $3 for a hot tea at a Barnes & Noble cafe one afternoon, during which some very captivating reading introduced me to the mechanisms of…

I have yet to try the Crunch, but this morning I had my very first bowl of GoLean of any kind. The regular naturally sweetened fiber twigs, soy protein grahams and honey puff cereal. A serving, one cup, is 140 calories, protein 13g, dietary fiber 10g, total fat 1g, sugars 6g. It tastes about the same as the Whole Foods 365…

Is this writer being too soft on individual responsibility? "Obesity is not simply a matter of laziness, overindulgence or lack of will power. It is a result of complex and diverse drivers of weight gain, including genetics, medications, stress, depression, addictions, eating and sleeping disorders and gut bugs – to name…

That makes sense.

Pay your grocer today or your airline tomorrow?

Yes, that (1906) and, while on muckraking a century ago, How the Other Half Lives (1890). I'm reminded of Gary Taubes' story about a young German physician, Hilde Bruch who "arrived in New York in 1934 and was "startled" by the number of fat kids she saw—"really fat ones, not only in clinics, but on the streets and…

Are you sure? What's your source? Here's mine. "Despite consuming almost twice as many calories (macronutrients) as we need, fewer than 18% of adults and 2% of children consume the minimum daily requirements of micronutrients recommended."…

I'd focus on the micronutrient quality of your diet, not the macronutrient density. Protein is a macronutrient. "Despite consuming almost twice as many calories (macronutrients) as we need, fewer than 18% of adults and 2% of children consume the minimum daily requirements of micronutrients recommended."…

""Metabolism" has become quite a buzzword in our culture. Weight gain or inability to lose weight is often blamed on having a slow metabolism and the prevailing myth is that a faster metabolism is preferable, because it would lead to weight loss. However, having a fast metabolism does not mean that you are healthier – in…

So irritating. I cannot find even a tiny flaw in what you just said there. May many benefit from your experience.

I don't log alcohol, but probably would if my habit was to drink beer or add stuff like tonic water and orange juice. A shot of straight alcohol, no added sugar although made from fermented sugars, is about one hundred calories, and I almost never have more than two shots in a day, with almost none of it before dinner. As…

I have noticed that those saying it doesn't matter when you eat are those saying they can't go to sleep hungry, lol. Why are these people so hungry before bed? Are they closet nighttime overeaters without regular daytime meals? What would happen if they were denied food in the evening? Would they run amuck and lose all…

I agree, but Mark MacDonald in his Body Confidence: Venice Nutrition's 3-Step System That Unlocks Your Body's Full Potential appears to disagree. He says that your sleep should be six to eight hours and that you should eat within the first hour of waking up. He also recommends eating every three to four hours and has no…

I know! You have made it there, so why haven't they? It's so obvious after all. Surely they won't mind a gentle push in the right direction from a fellow country man. Nothing wrong about being a little helpful, lol. The restaurant setting lends itself particularly easily to staring. People holding a fork like they're going…

The only thing that makes me hungry is eating. When I don't eat, I'm not hungry. True hunger doesn't kick in often. Toxic hunger on the other side is quite different. Being bored, tired or stressed will bring it about, but fortunately it also goes away if you distract it for a moment. When all is said and done, your body…

Of course. You referenced this very link at an earlier time! Insulin, Low Carbs, Gary Taubes, and James Krieger http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/817143-insulin-low-carbs-gary-taubes-and-james-krieger But yes, overeating is what will make you fat. "It is a common belief that a slim people have a "high metabolism"…

You're so nice! Certainly a youthful manner is not one of your, how should I put it, shortcomings, lol.

"The anterior pituitary gland in the brain secretes growth hormone in several pulses, about 85 percent of which occur while you are sleeping. ... When you eat food containing carbohydrate, your blood glucose rises. ... high insulin levels will suppress the secretion of growth hormone."…

Chances are that exercising and eating healthy would work. Heart Rate & Metabolism http://www.livestrong.com/article/306158-heart-rate-metabolism/ Burning calories is just one of the things that metabolism does. Metabolism comprises your various hormones, which makes it much more complex. See if a bookstore near you has a…

First this. "Usually obesity is the result of overeating, but in a small percentage of people excess weight gain is a symptom of another disease." So the vast majority of obese people might not have been so. Medical Causes of Obesity http://www.webmd.com/diet/medical-reasons-obesity Food addiction and a lack of willpower…
