As important as what and how much

Successful weight loss may depend as much on when you eat as it does on what you eat and how much, as reported by CNN.
After watching patients do a good job of restricting calories during the day only to start bingeing and gorging later in the day, New York City nutritionist Tamara Duker Freuman developed a “circadian-synced diet.” The timing-based — rather than calorie-based — approach has helped many of her patients lose weight over the past decade.
“It was the ongoing grazing into the night,” she said. “That’s what kept undermining them … If they just ate a little more at breakfast and lunch, if they just added a few hundred extra calories in the morning, they would get their eating under control and lose weight.”
