Late Eating Linked to Impaired Glucose Tolerance and Weight Management
Studies reveal a strong link between late meal timing and impaired glucose tolerance, independent of diet composition or weight. Research by Garaulet and the UOC-Columbia team demonstrated that eating after 3 PM hinders weight loss, and consuming a significant portion of daily calories after 5 PM in...

Obesity Vaccine Shows Promise in Mice, Preventing Weight Gain from Unhealthy Diets
Scientists developed a vaccine using Mycobacterium vaccae bacteria that prevents weight gain in mice fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet; this contrasts with Ozempic's appetite-reducing mechanism.
