When it comes to weight, when you eat may be as important as what and how much you eat according to an article in the May 2012 issue of Cell Metabolism. When mice on a high fat diet are restricted to consuming their meals (with the same number of calories) over eight hours as opposed to 24 hours, they gain less weight, had less fat in their liver, and had lower levels of inflammation.
Our hormones have a lot to do with how our body uses or stores what it takes in, and this determines whether or not fat will be made, stored, or burned.
