According to an article on page 13 of yesterday's Daily Mail taking a later breakfast and an earlier evening meal led to lower levels of body fat, cholesterol and blood sugar within a few weeks - all thanks to teh longer overnight "fasting" time.
This is in TV programme on BBC2 on Wednesday 13 January - Trust me I'm a Doctor.

Is a cup of tea and a slice of toast Breakfast? Is 6.30 pm too late for dinner? I even look at food and I put weight on. WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT. How many AFers can eat late in the evening and then sleep? Well that's entertainment.
Yes I know we are all different and I have said that following your footsteps!!!
I jJust saw the article as I was eating my late breakfast and before taking the dog for a walk and so out up post straight away before I forgot so people can see the programme on Wednesday.
I have heard something similar before, particularly around having a 12 hours overnight when you don't eat anything giving the body time to digest food and helping with weight control. Fortunately, my family always had tea at 5.30pm, which I still do. Unfortunately, we tended to have a supper later on... I think a lot will depend on your work/travel circumstances as well as family habits, but a good idea if you can do it.
Good point Peter, from my own experience over 15 years I take exercise before breakfast to increase the metabolic rate (i.e. reduce weight and I believe blood sugar). I have done one mile brisk walk with Nordic poles, eat a full fat diet and no longer use the scales.
Walking is so low tech, people don't believe it can do any good - it is also an essential part of my anti AF programme.
