The Body Clock Diet

The Women's Health Body Clock Diet provides you with round-the-clock calorie control to finally eliminate the guesswork around dieting and the inadvertent cheating that so often sabotages good intentions. Researchers have identified four key times of the day after 11 a.m. when women's hormones cause significant fluctuations in energy and metabolism, revving it high or leaving it sluggish, triggering extreme hunger or allowing satisfaction on fewer calories. Large surveys show that women who understand their hunger cues and can tailor their eating and exercising routines to specific times of the day will lose twice as much weight as those who don't follow a weight-loss timing plan. The Women's Health Body Clock Diet offers you a 3-step plan to reprogram your metabolism for fast initial weight-loss and the tools to improve blood sugar stability for long-term body shape maintenance. The Women's Health Body Clock Diet also provides an hour-by-hour analysis of hormone-driven fluctuations in hunger and lays out a step-by-step food-based solution: an innovative mindful eating plan that helps you overcome the cravings that lead to high-calorie overeating. The 30-day meal plan offers recipes, shopping lists, and a daily exercise to-do list, virtually guaranteeing compliance and 10 or more pounds of weight-loss, mostly from the tummy and thighs.

Did you know that you can shed those stubborn pounds by just eating at the right time? You know how the saying goes, “You are what you eat” means that making smart food choices is the key to eating and living healthy. But did you know that when we eat is just as important as what we eat? According to the latest research, our body’s internal clock, a.k.a. Circadian rhythm greatly impacts how we make food choices and metabolize fuel. That is because our metabolism changes throughout the day because of our circadian rhythm. Jessica Tong, a Vancouver-based registered dietitian said that metabolism changes throughout the day because of our circadian rhythm or natural body clock. She explained that during the morning, in response to daylight and food, insulin sensitivity increases and melatonin decreases, making us feel alert and energized. Meanwhile, in the evening, melatonin levels go up and insulin sensitivity decreases, preparing our body for rest and cell repair. Circadian rhythms when disrupted will not affect sleep, but also prevent the body systems from working efficiently, which leads to insulin resistance, fat storage, and increased disease risk. But through aligning your food with your circadian rhythm, you can help maximize weight loss, energy, and overall health. According to Dr. Nada Milosavljevic, MD and Director of Integrative Health at Mass General Hospital, your body’s internal clock, a.k.a. Circadian rhythm greatly impacts how you make food choices and metabolize fuel. With a little knowledge and awareness, you can tweak your eating habits to sync with your circadian cycle, which in turn supports weight-loss efforts. Experts believe that aligning our mealtime with our circadian rhythm can help maximize weight loss, improve endurance, reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, and lower blood pressure, among other things.
