    Researchers have found that consuming milk chocolate may be a fat burner for postmenopausal women

    Eating milk chocolate every day may sound like a recipe for weight gain, but a new study of postmenopausal women found that eating a lot of chocolate intensively during a short period of time in the morning may help the body burn fat and lower blood sugar levels


    Frank AJL Scheer and Marta Garaulet, professors of medicine at Harvard Medical School, both the Department of Sleep and Circadian Disorders, Department of Internal Medicine and Neurology at Harvard Brigham and Women's Hospital, are the co-corresponding authors of the new paper published in the journal FASEB


    To find out the effects of eating milk chocolate at different times of the day, researchers from Brigham collaborated with researchers from the University of Murcia in Spain


    Researchers report that among the women studied:

    • Ingesting chocolate in the morning or evening does not cause weight gain;

    • Eating chocolate in the morning and evening will affect hunger and appetite, microbiota composition, sleep, etc.


    • Eating a lot of chocolate in the morning helps to burn fat and lower blood sugar levels


    • Eating chocolate at night will change the rest and exercise metabolism the next morning


    Scheer said: "Our research results emphasize that not only what you eat, but also when you eat will affect the body's physiological mechanism of weight regulation


    "Although our volunteers ate more calories, their weight did not increase
