Eat Late At Night, Gain Weight
Continued from Drink While You Eat, Lose Weight.
Claim: Peppermint gum will alleviate an upset stomach.
Studies show that peppermint oil is sometimes found effective in relieving different stomach ailments, but Dr. Bauer from the Mayo Clinic suggests that “the amount of peppermint in gum is too small to have any effect.” One thing it’s sure to cure? Bad breath.
Claim: You’ll gain weight if you eat late at night. Many people seem to believe this, but it’s not true. Registered dietitian Keri Glassman explains, “It’s not the actual hour – it’s that people who eat late at night are adding additional calories to their regular intake.”
Your waistline will not be affected if you eat the same meal at 6 p.m. or 10 p.m. It’s when you don’t burn what you eat in a given day that you gain weight.
Claim: Coffee can cure a headache. On the label of Excedrin Migraine, you’ll notice that it contains caffeine. So this must be true, right? Dr. Seth Roberts, author of The Shangri-La Diet: The No Hunger, Eat Anything Weight-Loss Plan, says that it’s definitely worth trying. “Caffeine constricts your blood vessels, which sometimes helps.”
