Late Lunch May Mean Less Weight Loss

TUESDAY, Jan. 29 (HealthDay News) -- People who like to eat lunch late in the afternoon may have more trouble shedding pounds than those who dine earlier, a new study suggests.

"This is the first large-scale, long-term study to show that it is an important factor in weight-loss success for overweight and obese individuals," Scheer said.

It's uncertain why a late lunch would be related to slower weight loss. One possibility, though, is that at least some late lunchers were going too long between meals, which might have effects on metabolism.

Some studies have suggested that evenly spaced meals -- eating every three to four hours -- are helpful in weight control, noted Connie Diekman, director of university nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis.

In this study, the late-lunch group was more likely to eat a light breakfast or skip breakfast altogether. Almost 7 percent of la
