Several years ago, every medical and nutrition expert recommended that we avoid fats in our diet. Basically, the entire school-age population was taught in health class and on Saturday infomercials that we should eat a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.

A lot of experts recommend against eating past 6 p.m. at night because they mistakenly believe that it might make you more likely to gain weight. This type of advice might seem to make sense because we are less active at night, but it is also misleading. Weight gain is more about what and how much you eat and not back when you eat it. The belief that separates fact from fiction when it comes to late-night eating and weight gain.
