BRAINBUSTER: According to a new study out last week, the earlier in your workday you do this, the more weight you’ll lose if you're dieting.
ANSWER: Eat your lunch.
Researchers don't know why weight loss was greater in the early eaters, but one hypothesis is that glucose (sugar) is processed differently depending on the time of day. Another theory is that the timing of meals can impact the circadian system (the body's clock) which may disrupt the proper function of the liver and fat cells.
