Researchers instructed nine adults of healthy weights to spend eight weeks to eat during the daytime, which involved consuming three meals and two snacks between 8am and 7pm.
Then the group followed a delayed eating routine, having three meals and two snacks eating from noon to 11 pm for eight weeks.
The researchers measured changes in weight, metabolism and energy used, they discovered that when participants ate later, compared to when they ate during the daytime, their weight increased.

that eating later led the participants to metabolize fewer fats and store carbohydrates which can raise blood sugar levels.
