Mice fed high-fat diets got fatter if fed during their normal ’sleep time’

Late-night forays to the fridge might have you packing on the pounds even faster than munching during the day does, a new mouse study suggests.

That’s because the body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, may play a role in metabolism, researchers say.

You know its funny. A lot of people understand that in order to gain muscle mass they need to hit the gym, lift weights and eat right. But most people under estimate the importance of sleep and rest. Sleep is 33% of the equation in order to get the gains that you so desire. Our bodies work in the following manner: We train at the gym to tear muscles, then we eat in order regain the strength we lost from our workout, but the bodies main reapairing shcedule is done when you are sleeping.

Everyday I am at the gym I see dozens of people walk through the door and start their routines. Usually some where in the process of their workouts you see them do some form of abs. Most of their ab routine will consist of situps and crunches. However all the people that I see doing these routines dont have six pack abs…they don’t have abs at all. Most have big fat round stomachs.

You know alot has to be said about how we feed our bodies. Most people carry upon their day simply filling their stomachs with calories that have no positive effect on their physiques. Better still is the notion that if we simply diet we will lose fat. Notice here that I said fat and not weigtht? Whats the difference you ask?

It is a well known fact that snacking causes weight gain, but everyone still loves to munch in between meals. In order to understand how this effects your body we need to understand why we feel the urge to snack. In most cases snacking is caused by a lack of the right foods are boredom. If your snacking falls into one of these two categories, dont worry there is something that can be done.
