Obesity is a growing problem in today’s world. There’s just too many people who are over weight and struggling with lifestyle disorders. It makes sense then, that health care with a focus on weight loss is an essential area of research for many scientists. At the University of Surrey, UK, researchers have been investigating a simple and effective tool to lose weight.

Simple changes to the time you eat breakfast and dinner have been seen to reduce body fat in the scientific study. The participants were divided into two groups. One was asked to eat their meals at the normal times with no changes. While the second group was asked to delay their breakfast by 90 minutes and eat their dinner earlier by 90 minutes.

It was estimated that the participants who belonged to the second group ended up losing twice as much body fat as compared to those in the control group. A simple alteration of changing the meal timing can benefit the human body greatly. About 57% of the people mentioned in their responses that they reduced the amount of food they were eating due to a reduction in their appetite, cutback in snacking and having less opportunities to eat.
