Many American people believe that spring is the right time to lose weight. Indeed, many of us want a body that is pleasant to look at on the beach. If some adopt intermittent diets or slimming cures, now a new study reveals the best way to lose weight. Conducted by scientists from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (USA) and published in January 2023 in the journal of the American Heart Association (AHA), the researchers suggest that there is a very specific method to lose weight. It would be enough to monitor the calorie intake of his meals.
To reach this conclusion, these experts carried out various analyses of 547 patients with an average age of fifty years. The goal: 'to assess the association between the time between the first and last meal of the day and weight change'. The people tested had to indicate the time of their awakening and the time of their meal on an application. The scientists found that 'the average interval between the first and last meal was 11.5 hours and that this was not necessarily associated with a change in weight'. Thus, only the number of meals per day and the number of calories were 'positively associated with a change in weight'.
