Do you tend to eat more in the evening, and maybe instead you don’t eat breakfast and eat little for lunch? Have you always thought that the problem of overeating for dinner or snacks before bed is responsible for your extra pounds? Well, you might change your mind.
First, if your natural sense of hunger wakes up more in the second half of the day, but overall you respect your calorie needs, there is no study in the world that has established a link between eating and being overweight. The idea that eating more in the evening than in the morning can gain weight is commonplace, but there are no scientific studies that correlate specific times with weight gain: some studies have shown that eating within a shorter window of time than fasting hours (eating within twelve hours and fasting for sixteen) can promote loss of weight but the moment in which to eat is free, and this has meant that some forms of intermittent fasting for weight loss were “calibrated” to eat more at dinner (see the Diet of the Warrior ).
Having said that, the problem arises when we start eating normally in the morning, but from the evening on we tend to eat much too much.In this case, if after having breakfast, appropriate snacks, lunch and a snack, we fail at dinner and we do not know how to contain ourselves (by failing I mean: simply eating too much), then there is no other solution than to act on nutrition. daily to avoid the trap of the evening, especially if at night we prefer too sugary treats. By controlling the quality and quantity of food in the evening, and instead correcting the quality of food consumed during the rest of the day, we can even gain advantages on the metabolism, and not only can we be able to optimize our overall caloric intake.

In a curious episode of Dr. Oz , they explained precisely how to increase your metabolism if you eat too much in the evening. The suggestions are valid if, as I have already said, we are not people who eat little during the day, find ourselves eating too much in the evening, and “whatever happens”. Here are Dr. Oz’s tips that might also be for you.
