Can Spacing Your Meals Properly Help With Body Fat Loss?

If you’re looking to burn excess fat, at those times during the day you eat appears to factor into the equation.

Unfortunately, at this time there is not a great amount of scientific evidence to tell us why, and exactly how significant spacing your meals actually is. But much of our understanding regarding eating patterns line up with research done with animals, and we have a lot of data due to their controlled feeding structure. Animals that are fed at unusual times seem to have their “peripheral clocks” out of whack. People, as well as animals have circadian rhythms, and we know they effect a wide variety of functions, such as affecting rate of metabolism and how we tend to sleep. The master regulator in our head maintains and controls those rhythms, and they sequentially affect those peripheral clocks inside our body cells.
