first, have a 6' o clock diet- meaning you should try not to eat after 6 pm\nand eat light food and not wait for the main meal if you feel a little hungry eat crackers or fruits so you wont eat much during the three main meal time :)

It is hard to stop eating the wrong types of food and do a little excersise, but for your sake you must try to do some exercise, how about a 30 min walk each day. Stop eating after 7pm, try eating more fruit at night instead of fatty foods.

Personally, I wouldn't take it before going to bed.  If you're worried about losing your gut, don't eat ANYTHING past about 7:00 at night.  You also should switch to 6 small meals spaced throughout your day, as opposed to the traditional 3 meals.\n\nIf you want some really good info on bodybuilding and diet, check out this site.

yes, it is unhealthy, because you need to make sure that your food gets fully chewed and take some time to breathe in between bites.

OK, eating is a good thing, eating balanced meals and having a snack between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner is good for your body, the less you eat, the slower your metabolism is, the more you eat, the faster it is. A person who doesn't eat much is more likely to be heavy set then someone who eats more, of the right foods of course. When your metabolism works slowly it takes longer to break down and separate good from bad and that leads to weight gain because your body is not separating good carbs from bad and good fats from bad, ect. The faster your metabolism is the faster your body is going to to digest the food, where your energy comes from, and then you will use that energy to burn off calories, drinking only water is a good thing because our bodies are made up of mostly water and we have to replace the water that our bodies use to sweat , however it is not good to only drink water and eat little food because your body and metabolism are not working quickly enough to turn food into energy so you are not going to burn off enough calories, which in the end makes sense about why someone who ate very little would be heavy set compared to someone who ate the right amount of food, healthy food that is.

It's bad for you, most of it anyway.\n\nBut if you only eat it once in a while you should be okay.

Ok, just because everyone else eats at noonish and 6ish does not mean you have to.  Since your schedule is different from others why not eat breakfast at 10 ish, lunch at 2 ish, and dinner around 8-9ish? That way you won't be so hungry late at night.  (And you should eat breakfast anyway).\n\nI've also cut calories in the past and I've found that as time goes on your stomach shrinks so your not as hungry--you just have to push through the first week of so.\n\nIf your feeling hungry-do something!  Take a shower, walk the dog, do the dishes, anything to take your mind off food.  If you feel you have to eat chew on an ice cube or some gum.  Also, I've found that hot beverages help---drink some hot tea, coffee, or other beverage with minimal calories.  Hope this helps!

It depends on when and how much you indulge.  \n\nIf you are working physically hard or participating in wind sprints, it is a marvelous energy booster.  It gets into your system quickly and is burned just as quickly.\n\nIf you eat a bunch of sweets just before bed it can help in the creation of tooth decay.  The body has no need to use it while you sleep so it is stored in your body for later use.  Unfortunately the body prefers the what's in there right now response.  It does not go for the stored energy first.  \n\nIt needs to be burnt off almost as soon as you put it in your mouth.  And it can go anywhere in your body.  With guys, it's usually the gut.  With women it's belly, butt and thighs.\n\nThe worst place it can deposit is on your internal organs.  That fat contributes to heart attacks, strokes, pancreatic failure, etc, etc.\n\nNatural sugars found in fruits aren't as deleterious as refined white sugar (or brown sugar)  That form of sweetness tends to come with complimenting enzymes, and is more healthful.

Um, just to let you know, if you are skipping meals, you are slowing your metabolism. And, if you don't consume food for 30 days, you will die. And, meanwhile, your body will do strange things by natural instinct to protect you because it senses you are starving. For instance, you could grow a dark layer of hair all over your body. Basically you will get some of the same symptoms of severe anorexia. So, don't starve yourself. If you're really concerned with your weight, see a doctor or a nutritionist.

It's not what time you eat, but it's what kind of food you consume. You don't need to consume heavy things (bread, beef) at night because if you're trying to lose weight, it won't work. Eat something light.\n\nIf it's your first day back, still eat something light, or have a nice meal in between time.

I don't know, but the same thing happens to my sister. Health professionals always say try not to eat after 6pm. I guess that's the reason.

If you continue to eat this way it will hurt your body in the long run. This could stem from not allowing your body to rest. You are probably so busy that you don't listen to the needs of your body. You are probably hungry but you ignore the signs dealing with other things in your life. It could become an eating disorder if you don't deal with it now. Contrary to popular belief eating disorders don't always stem from wanting to be skinny. Stress & grief are  examples of other causes. Try scheduling a time to eat at least three meals a day with two mini-meals in between as part of your routine. If all else fails - see a doctor.

Meh, eating the stuff once in a while is okay.  Once every week or two won't hurt you, as long as you live a relatively healthy lifestyle.  : )

The disadvantages are both biological and sociological. Sleep researchers have found recently that people who sleep more than 9 hours (or less than 5 hours) have less cognitive abilities than those who sleep between 5 and 9 hours.\nSleeping late also can lead to all kinds of sociological problems (late for school/work/appointments...)

Actually to avoid gaining weight it is best to eat no later than 6 p.m. and it is better to workout prior to eating as your metabolism is already increased by working out, your dinner will be consumed by your body faster.
