If you tend to skip breakfast and eat the bulk of your calories at night (in front of the TV or after a long, busy day), you may want to reconsider your routine. Eating with your natural circadian rhythm, also known as your body’s internal clock, could not only potentially help you lose weight1, it could also boost your mood.2 Recent studies have found mood disorders such as depression have been linked to disruptions in circadian rhythm.3-4 What does following your natural rhythm look like? Start by eating your meals within a 12-hour period and then allowing your body 12 hours of rejuvenation time (which includes sleep) without consuming food. Jenny Craig’s newest program, Rapid Results, is based on your circadian rhythm with eating more calories when your body is burning the most calories.
