The Dangers of Late Night Eating 

I dunno. Anecdotally, when I eat late at night, I definitely don't feel hungrier in the morning. If anything it's easier to skip breakfast.

60% more calories sounds like such bullshit

Facts, i normally eat 10am-5pm. whenever i have late supper i feel awfully hungry in the morning

Dang I gotta start eating late at night more then. Haha. Bulking gainz

Have done IF multiple times. This Jan I'm trying the 4pm-8am fast, to get that holiday weight off. Is going really well so far, it might have something to it 🤷‍♂

Just do what works for you. None of these people can account for the individual.

I found when doing a carnivore diet that eating around 6-8pm made it so I wouldn't desire food until about that time the next day. It only took me about a week or so to get used to this. And the best part about it was that it almost felt natural.

I feel like that's the kind of information that is barely helpful for anyone. All these kind of "advices" have this "you really should stuff like this otherwise it won't work" undertone. What I ended up doing was feeling bad for not implementing it and when I did I very often could not stick with it. I was over optimizing and felt more anxious about what I knew worked for me. My practical advice: Do what you can stick to and works for you.

I usually cut food off around 3 pm in the winter months with the shorter days up here in Canada and notice an improvement in sleep .

My goal is to eat only between 1 and 6:30. If I keep to that I feel great, but if I eat after 7ish, I tend to feel like crap in the morning but not really that hungry. I do agree that late night eating is terrible for the average person though

This is my experience. I did no breakfast and OMAD, but I always fell off the regimen. I stop eating at five every day and have an easy 14-hour fast that I break with scrambled eggs before work every morning. I cut sugar and sweetener I have no cravings for junk at all. Grapes taste like candy now.

I’m not sure, this may be regional. Mediterranean/Middle eastern cultures tend to eat late at night. It still comes down to WHAT your eating.

Tried both. Losing or maintaining weight for me is great when I eat 10 am to 6 pm.

I'm really struggling to put on weight, probably because I'm tall and have an extremely fast metabolism, I guess I'll eat more food during night now.

I think at this point with all the conflicting information and opinions studies should say who gives a fuck just do what you want.

As a crazy insomniac, I cannot stop eating late at night. Even now that my sleep is normalizing, I can't break this late night eating habit

How are we supposed to eat early "naturally"? Usually you would have to get up and collect or hunt something and then prepare it and eat it in the afternoon. 🤷‍♂️

"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper." -common saying in many languages

I think alot of it is convenience too, not many people have time for large 2-3000 cal meals during working hours..

Chris, you have to get Dr. Jason Fung on. He explains this in detail and why intermittent fasting not only helps you lose weight, reverse disease but how it also can help overcome good addiction.

I hate eating early cause it makes you lazy the rest of the day, that's why I only eat when it gets dark cause I know I can relax afterwards

Just speaking for myself, I eat very light until about dinner time, probably consuming about 50 - 60 gr of protein and then, after a large dinner, I pretty much eat a second dinner right before bed. I'm never hungry in the morning and maintain about 10% bf. 180 lb 6'1"

Yeah when I’m about to get my period I snack lots 😅

Due to evening social eating habits. I definitely think early morning to mid afternoon eating window is the healthiest but habits need to be retrained.

My brain processing this video: It's 2:47 am. Don't mozzerella sticks and dino nuggets sound good right now?

I’ve heard other reputable ppl say this as well - eat earlier in the day after fasting, not just for weight loss but general health. I can see how this will help

Simply avoid eating when it becomes dark. If its still bright out at 18.00 or so its OK. When it gets dark a different cycle starts in the body.

Never done any intermittent fasting, but there have been lots of times I have eaten late at night and woken up in the morning feeling very hungry. I've wondered more than once how that could be.

People in Spain eat very late, 9 or 10 or even 11, but they still have some of the longest life expectancies. Their late eating can't be harming them much, surely what you eat is much more important than when. People who eat late in places where it is not cultural (such as Northern Europe and North America) are more likely to be too tired to make something healthy, so are more likely to eat something like a takeaway, fast food or a microwaveable ready meal. Do these studies control for that?

He’s correct in the diurnal approach. I never did research, but the way I approached food was from the mindset of a caveman. We hunt/east during the day and sleep/ guard our territory at night. If you think eating at night during an intermittent fast is wrong, do not listen to this man! Shredded sports science helped me understand that hours are irrelevant, as long as you consume beneficial food. The hour you work out doesn’t matter. I swear to you, I’m not saying this because I viewed it in the aforementioned videos. My body reacts incredibly well to time restricted eating. In a full week, I only eat 34 hours. I’ve never been more alert, stronger, faster, and more disciplined!

I eat allotright before going to bed, in order to be extremely hungry when i wake up, then I can start working on getting all my calories down. I dieet in order to consumer 3K+ calories every day to fuel my workouts and make my gains rather than go into calorie deficit...

It’s very simple. 3 square meals. Good quality balanced diet and cut out the junk like the fizzy drinks. It’s really not that hard. Exercise regularly too of course

Taking testorone twice a week for yhe gym wrecked my slerping and eating patterns, jerp waking up lije 2am wored full of energy and hungry, end up going dien the gym early morning after eating tyen working out then going back home washing and sleeping and getting up late 😢

Everyone knows you don't feed a mogwai that late.

So is it bad to eat late at night and early in the morning?

I eat 9-5 most days through winter In summer may change as my activity level increases and the day starts earlier

He is right. Actually we should eat in the morning and then fast. Why? Because of the natural peak of cortisol and insuline in the morning. Both of hormones decrease during the day. If you eat during the day, you provoke another increase of insuline. This is not what you want.

Maybe a snack at noon n then a real course meal around 4pm would be be better

late night eating can also interrupt your blood sugar level and can lead to diabetes

It’s bullshit we Muslims always fast and we do late night eating then fast until sunset , it’s healthier life style not a bad one any ways not all the time but most of the days we do

Bro, I just eat when I’m hungry.

I can't tell any difference in the time of day that I eat in my hunger or weight. I eat carnivore so maybe that's it or maybe just me.

fax dr berg made a video on this

It's the old adage of eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch and a beggar at dinner

I DONT CARE IM HAVING MY 2 AM NUTELLA SANDWICH💀

Full episode link?

I eat once every 24 hours or more, have the odd treat if I'm offered, and never feel hungry anymore! Used to eat a high-carb breakfast as advised, and used to be hungry all the time! I've gone from 19st to 13.5st in 5 years, And in 56, but it's not for everybody 🤷‍♂️

Intermittent fasting doesn't work for me at all. If I skip breakfast, I'll be too hungry to focus on work, and if I eat dinner really early and nothing after that, I'll be too hungry to sleep. Best I can manage is to eat a piece of fruit right before bed, at least it's relatively low calorie.

Everybody is different, so eat what you want and when you want.

Ya snacking late night has destroyed my stomach so I just dnt do it anymore.

Do we know if this is the case for both men and women? I know intermittent fasting has its benefits for men but I’ve heard can be harmful for women. I think this distinction is important.

Chuando Tan is possibly the youngest looking and most fit 57 year old in the world. He does not eat four to six hours before bed. I'd say he probably has figured it out.

Late night eating > late night drinking Choose your regrets wisely

Just eat in a small calorie deficit and eat a lot of protein 🤦

If you eat fatty meats and not much carb at all, depending on the portion, eating even as early as 6pm might make you feel full or even uncomfortable by the time you go to bed depending on how well your body can at that point time deal with that much protein and fat. Eating a carbohydrate rich dinner at 9pm however can get you up at 2 am because you need to take a piss and it disrupts sleep, and yes the next morning you may wake up hungry because your blood sugar levels dropped lower than optimal. So the solution is a KFC bucket to yourself at exactly 7.30pm. No need to intermittent fast, at best you are going to be still full at 11am next day, at worst you are going to be disgusted with yourself and still eat like an asshole the next morning.

crap, i fast everyday and eat around midnight

Buddhist monks don't eat after midday.

Disagree. Eating in the PM lowers cortisol hence better sleep. Hence why Fridman/Huberman etc use this tactic…….

Can i eat one apple

Ugh. Frickin internet and its conflicting information.

You can have a late start and an early dinner....you don't have to eat late at night...wtf

I like how you show Chipotle style with $10 worth of guacamole. I think everyone is right especially Mr this guy but I think it show what is happening to the cycle/rhythm pathphyiologically to not do what he's suggesting either discipline or naturally. It's tiring to digest for the most part.

How bout doing it deliberatley to eat more

Not many? This is classic Buddhist fasting.

Wow

good luck night shifts

The data coming out of where? Is this like the safe and effective data? Trust no one.

🧢 Idk why this guy is acting like it’s natural to eat a lot in the morning. Hunter gatherers had to get up & find what would be their dinner. No fridges w/ bacon & eggs. For me, just a fruit & coffee = peak focus & energy for the day until my work is done & I can enjoy a well earned meal. Why else would my fasted hours make me energized & a high calorie meal make me lethargic if it wasn’t natural?

Fasting late is for psychos

OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM 😋

all an absolute load of bro science bollocks, I can eat any time and dont feel any different or don’t put on put on any weight/lose any. Just eat when you’re hungry and exercise regularly

Broscience

He's plain wrong. Breakfast is the best meal of day to not have. IF with breakfast is inane.

Yummy 😋

Stubbed toez?

This dude is literally reading some shit from a website lmaooo don’t listen to these fools. Watch Gary Brecka!!!! He knows wtf he’s talking about

I believe Huberrman talked about optimal IF eating as being between 10 AM and 2 PM if you woke up at 6 AM and exercised. But like anything if it’s not sustainable it doesn’t matter… Most days I eat between 2-6 PM, go to bed 9:30-10 PM, waking at 4 AM. It’s just what I have to do…

Bro this doc so wrong lol

Bad news for all us working the night shift
