do LATE NIGHTS RESULT IN WEIGHT GAIN??
962264
Late nights do cause weight gain.  As you get little sleep, you metabolism slows down, so you burn fewer calories.  Also, when people are awake, they tend to eat more.  There are many other factors.  Do yourself a favor, get some sleep.

Look child.  F that.  Stop trying to be a stick.  You did not gain weight over night and you will not loose it over night.  It will probably take you 3 times and long to loose it as it did to gain it.  I know.  I used to be super skinny, and I an now like a size 14/16.  I would love to loose 40-50 pounds and be a size 8, but I must learn to love myself no matter what weight I am.  I have lost and gained over the years, but I have learned from all success and failure.  You will derail your efforts if you stop eating or start throwing up.  Not only will you loose fat, but you will loose muscle.  You need to build up your muscle first by doing some resistance training so that you will burn more fat while you are at rest.  You may also need to try a diet program like weight watchers or myonlinefooddiary.com.  Remember we gain and loose sometimes because of stress or depression.  You need to heal your inside first before you focus on your outside.  Once you love yourself being big, you will see how many other people love big women too.  Be good, and think about it please.

Reversing your day might seem fine at the begining but later on you'll start feeling tired and exhausted. Sleeping during the night is essential because it recovers your body completly and sleeping during the day doesnt have the same effect as it has during the night. I aslo know that growth hormones are secreted during your sleep at night, so if you dont get a good nights sleep your horomone secretions will be mixed so it will have a negative affect on you metabolism.

well if u sleep for at least half of the day you could have a sleeping disorder and sleeping alot can cause a person 2 b overweight because many people sleep and then get up and eat and go back 2 bed.......there is limited physical exercise that results in obesity

Yep, especially if you aren't getting any exercise. A little exercise can go a long way in preventing weight gain

If you are trying to gain weight and do it properly go see a nutritionist, or even an employee over at GNC. There are supplements that you can take to help you gain weight. Since it sounds like you have a quick metabolism,  you should eat every 2-3 hours with proteins and carbs. Avoid the sugar, although a bowl of ice cream before bed will surely help you put on some pounds. But try and do it the healthy way.

The time of day DOES NOT MATTER! what does matter if how long before you go to bed, not the absolute time of day. You shouldn't eat for about 2 hours before you go to bed. This isn't because your metabolism slows down at night as much as it is because you will be less likely to have a full breakfast, which messes up your metabolism for the day. More and more studies are linking skipping breakfast to weight gain, b/c you are then snacking throughout the day and consuming more calories than you would have from breakfast. \nIf you go to bed at 10pm, then you probably shouldn't eat after 8, but if you go to bed at 2am, then it wouldn't matter if you ate after 8pm, only if you did after about midnight.\nYour best bet is to have a good breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have a light snack when you need it to keep your metabolism going, but not let it get out of control. Don't starve yourself, but don't binge either. Make sure you eat when you're hungry; don't deny yourself a meal b/c you feel guilty, b/c this will screw up your body's metabolism, but don't eat just because you're bored or depressed or nervous or anything either. \nAdditionally, (and this is the one everyone resents) exercise! Get some cardio and strength training in a few times a week.\nEat a balanced diet with all the food groups (even carbs, they are not evil, just ignore Atkins, he died fat anyway) and allow yourself a treat every now and then to avoid bingeing. A brownie is fine, a half a pan of brownies is not.\nI know I kind of went off topic, but I just attended a nutrition seminar (I'm a dancer) and I had a lot of this info on my mind. If you have any other Q's, just e-mail me...

recent study shows eating late at night or right before bed doesn't pack on the pounds. eating fatty foods high in calories will though. it doesn't matter if you eat 2000 calories in one sitting or spread through out the day. it's still 2000 calories.

Yes, my hubby heard on the radio that it does.  I also feel that when you are asleep you cannot be eating.  The longer people stay awake the more they eat.  The less people sleep the fatter they get.  Americans have slept less and less and they have become more and more obese.  During sleep your body conducts a lot of healing and recovery activities.  With no sleep it can't repair the damage.  I don't know the exact mechanism why it helps you lose weight, but it came from a reputable source (NPR)

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.

Of course. Eating more calories than you are putting out will cause you too gain weight.

Usually about 5 P.M.  Eating dinner to close to bed time is very bad for the health.  Plus, you can gain lots and lots of weight that way.  That, I do not need.

You failed to share your height, and present weight.  That makes a difference in the calorie intake, etc. you allow each day. Everyone hits a plateau when dieting...sometimes more than once. Eat high lean protein, very low carbs, (try to keep it around 1200 calories per day) continue your exercises, and usually you'll start losing again.  Also, it's important to get at least 8 hours of good sleep a night. Studies have recently found that lack of sleep can actually cause weight gain!

NO!!\nThis is an old wives' tale and IS NOT TRUE!\n\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/19/health/19real.html?ex=1165035600&en=2c1d49f3427d001d&ei=5070\n\nMost of these people still believe this crap, but the truth is, it makes NO DIFFERENCE WHEN you eat, what matters is HOW MUCH you eat.   A calorie consumed at 9pm does not count more than one consumed at 5pm!

If you eat more calories than you burn each day, you will gain weight. It doesn't matter whether the calories come from junk food or salad. Either you are eating too much or not exercising enough.
