Myths about losing/gaining weight

It is a myth that you shouldn't eat 3 hrs before going to sleep or you'll gain weight.
You can eat a snack 1 hr and 30 min before going sleep and your weight will not change.
This was mentioned in either the second or third season of the Tyra Banks Show and it came straight from Dr. Ian, who graduated from Harvard.

A woman has volunteered to try that theory for a week and her weight did not change. I myself had tried it for a while and my weight did not change. Surely, you should not eat a whole meal 3 hr before sleeping. But a light snack wouldn't kill you.

It's okay to have a light snack like 1hr30/45 mins before bed.
Like a chocolate bar. Not a whole meal.
and the lighter the snack the better.

But do whatever you feel comfortable doing.; ▶ Reply to This
