Produktbeschreibung

Night Eating in Metro Detroit

Night eating can be a contributing factor to weight
problems now or later. It is characterized by
insomnia, loss of appetite in the morning, overeating
at night, and is associated with stress. Night
eating is practiced by both normal weight and
overweight people. It has been observed in children
as early as 5 years old with highest rates in young
and middle age adults. Night eating does not
discriminate. It is a behavior found among affluent
suburb communities as well as among the homeless.

In this book, details of 3 studies conducted in metro
Detroit night eaters are provided. Results from Study
1 show that compliant cereal intervention subjects
lost weight (-0.8±1.6 kg) after just 4 weeks
(p=0.01). Study 2 showed that a partial meal
replacement program using cereal included improved:
labs, body wt -4.24±3.6 kg, BMI -1.48±1.23 kg/M2,
body fat (%): -1.36±2.23, waist: -6.4 ±5.97 cm. Study
3 showed a night eating rate of 14.7% in a homeless
sample that happened to be African American,
exceeding the national average of 1.5%.

If you study or practice night eating, this book may
interest you. Learn how an intervention as simple as
cereal can help.
