Tag: Afternoon eating

Studies have shown that late lunch eaters (after 3 p.m.) lose less weight and experience poorer metabolic health than those who eat earlier. This research-backed insight helps answer the critical question: what is the best time to eat in the afternoon?

According to a 2022 study, lean and healthy adults who ate one meal per day in the afternoon saw greater body fat loss compared to those eating three meals daily. But what happens if I only eat in the afternoon over the long term, and are the potential risks worth the rewards? This extreme form of intermittent fasting, known as One Meal A Day (OMAD), can trigger significant metabolic changes, nutrient deficiencies, and other health issues that should be carefully considered.
