Eating Carbohydrates At Night Will Lead To More
Fat Gain
10
A research group at Hebrew University of
Jerusalem
Greater Weight Loss and Hormonal Changes After 6
Months Diet With Carbohydrates Eaten Mostly at
Dinner
Obesity Volume 19, Issue 10, pages 20062014,

? carbohydrates ? at dinner ? benefit people
suffering ? severe and morbid obesity
The diet influences secretion of hormones
for hunger and satiety
12
The idea ? studies on Muslims during Ramadan
they fast during the day and eat high-
carbohydrate meals in the evening,
13
Researchers from Israel put 63 male police
officers ? calorically restricted diet ? six
months and split them into two groups
vcontrol group vexperimental group
Each group consumed the same amount of
calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat
14
control group ? ate carbs throughout the day
experimental group ? ate carbs at the night
15
AFTER 6 MONTHS
experimental group ? ate carbs at the
night v Lost more weight than other group
v bodyfat v decreased their abdominal
width
16
The researchers examined the experimental diets
effect on the secretion of two hormones
Leptin ? the satiety hormone, level in
the blood is usually low during the day
Ghrelin ? hunger hormone level in the blood
is usually high during the day
17
volunteers who consumed most of their carbs
during dinner concentrations of leptin (the
satiety hormone) throughout the day
?
better satiety
concentrations of ghrelin (hunger hormone)
? less hunger
18
The findings suggest v there is an advantage
in concentrating carbohydrate intake in the
evening, v especially for people at risk of
developing diabetes or cardiovascular disease due
to obesity The next step is to understand the
mechanisms that led to the results obtained.
