Dr. Wolfe:
Some women are aware of their night eating, and there are things women can do to help stop consuming so many calories late at night. It’s important to have a good breakfast. If you delay eating until later in the day, it will force you to eat more calories late at night. If you do that, you are more likely to gain weight, as well, getting bright sunlight first thing in the morning, avoiding bright sunlight in the evening, and allowing yourself to get the majority of your calories early in the day.
In Europe, a woman will typically have lunch as her biggest meal. As Americans, we tend to have our biggest meals in the evening, skip breakfast, skip lunch, and ultimately this can lead to weight gain.
