How to get rid of visceral fat: Timed eating to lose 'two and a half times more weight'

Some preliminary evidence suggests that more energy is used to process a meal when it’s eaten in the morning, compared with later in the day.

This means a person burns slightly more calories if they eat earlier.

However, it’s still unclear how much of a difference this would make to overall body weight.

Another possibility is that late-night eating extends the overall window during which food is consumed.

This gives our digestive systems less time to recuperate and reduces the opportunity for our bodies to burn fat.
