night eatingRecent medical research shows that when you eat may influence your weight gain just as much as what you eat.

Northwestern University researchers tested whether the hour of meal consumption could influence body weight. Plenty of diet books suggest to would-be weight losers to stop eating after 6 or 7 p.m. However, it’s never been clear if the strategy works because you have more time to digest before going to bed or because eating late at night has some sort of unknown physiological drawback.  Additionally, we tend to overeat in the evenings (especially when nobody is around).

As most researchers do, these researchers studied two groups of mice who ate, or rather, were fed, the exact same diets of food.  For the study, half the mice were fed the diet during the time they would normally be sleeping — simulating late-night eating in humans. The other half were given the same food on their regular eating schedule.

At the end of the six week study period, mice in both groups had consumed about the same amount of calories and performed the same amount of exercise. However, the mice who ate when they normally would have been sleeping hours posted an average 48 percent increase in body weight. The mice who ate on a regular schedule had an average increase of 20 percent of body weight. The findings will be published in the October issue of the journal Obesity.

caramel appleAre you afraid of gaining weight now that the Holiday season is right around the corner?  Starting with Halloween, there will be a flurry of festivities that seem to come one after the next.  Think ahead and stay in shape during these challenging few months!

With Halloween candy sprouting up everywhere (your office, the stores, even your house), it’s no wonder that we start gaining weight around this time of year.  But don’t panic!  You don’t have to be the neighborhood spoilsport who doles out fruit. Let’s face it though, tons of M&M’s and Snickers and Milky Way bars lurking around your house is a scary prospect. “Wait until the last possible minute — the morning of October 31 — to buy candy for trick-or-treaters,” suggests Anne M. Fletcher, RD, author of Thin for Life. And don’t even think about buying goodies you can’t resist (seriously, who can eat just one Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup?). Two good bets are Tootsie Pops (60 calories) and 3 Musketeers Fun Size bars (63 calories). If you have any leftovers after the trick-or-treaters are gone, toss them so they won’t haunt you.

practolNow that Christmas is here, you really need to have a good strategy so that you don’t end up eating too much.  Being social is one thing, but being a glutton is another all together!  Let’s face it, we all have Christmas parties to attend.  Work parties, parties with friends, family parties, and so on – the events are a blast and the food is good but how do you navigate the tabels without overeating?  Follow these easy tips and come away from the party feeling like a million bucks!

  1. Have a light snack before you go.  This is probably one of the smartest things you can do to protect yourself from over eating.  Before going to a party, have a light snack that won’t fill you up but will give you enough fuel so that you don’t feel famished by the time dinner is served.  I recommend something like a granola bar, or a bowl of soup, or a piece of toast with jam or something like that.  These things will give you energy and help curb your appetite too!
  2. Don’t overload your plate.  This may seem obvious but I’ve been to parties and seen people put so much food on their plate that it looked like a small mountain of food.  I think they did this either because they wanted to try a little bit of everything or they didn’t follow my step #1 of having a light snack before heading to the party.  I know that all the food looks good, but start off with a small serving on your plate and go for a similarly sized second helping later.  Not only does everyone get a chance to eat some of the yummy foods, but it also helps you eat LESS because by the time you go back for seconds, you’ll have some food in your stomach telling you that you don’t need a huge second helping.
  3. Get Proactol.  Proactol is a fat binder that can bind up to 27% of your dietary fat intake.  This means that if you do overeat, you can get away with eating up to 27% more than you normally would.  Don’t use it as a crutch because Proactol works best with a balanced diet and moderate exercise but in a pinch, Proactol is your guide to safe weight loss!
