How bad is it to snack late at night. I worked late last night, came home at 8.30 pm and went to the gym at 9. Came home after an hour and 15 minutes and was starving. I had to eat something before I went to bed.

I dont think its a bad thing because your body is needed to have something to refuel. I always eat somthing after the gym or drink a protien shake.
Just be careful of your food choices. Plus this is one of the reasons those who do body building eat 4-6 meals a day.
No its not truncated...at least it did not used to be. I wondered why they lost so fast and its because they workout for hours a day. Plus the mass they move(big body) burns a lot of calories. The bigger you are the more cals you burn during your workouts. You should not shoot to lose like that. Those people are under a doctor's care. You can actually cause your organs to shut down if you try to lose weight too fast. Also fast loss can create stretch marks. Those still are not in fashion.
I don't think anyone should try to emulate that show either. Those people are working with a doctor and a personal trainer to help them and watch whats going on inside the body.
I haven't watched the show in years because I think it is really terrible now, completely unwatchable with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. But when i did watch it in the few couple of years, a season was 10-12 episodes. There is absolutely no way these people were losing 10 to 15 pounds a week, which is what they were losing if you do the math and believe the show isn't truncated. I am too lazy to google, but I'd bet the farm that they were in the Biggest Loser house for more than 12 weeks.

It's perfectly fine assuming you have something low carb like a protein shake or some lean lunch meat.

The whole "eating at night will make you gain weight" is semi-bunk. It may make you gain weight temporarily, but not much. Your metabolism doesn't just stop at night. It slows down, but it doesn't stop, and your BMR takes this into account when estimating your expenditures. You're body will burn it as energy, store leftovers as some fat, but if you still have a caloric deficit at the end of the week, and no other medical conditions are present, you'll still lose weight for the entire week. Simple math: shorter time deltas (hours) may show a weight gain, but longer time deltas (weekly) will show weight loss as long as calories consumed-calories expended < 0.
I've seen guys that weigh 170lbs lose 15lbs in a week before a fight. They weigh in the night before, then gain back virtually all of it over the next day by the time of a fight. Most of that weight is water, they probably lost a small amount of fat and muscle as well. It is difficult and not healthy, I don't recommend anyone do it, but yes, you can do it.
I do not need to do it, but play wrestling sure sounds like fun with the right person! LOL
They lose weight really fast on Biggest Loser.(5-10 lbs a week starting out) Does anyone know details of their diet/exercise routines?
I don't know their exact routines but to lose 10 pounds in a week you would have to burn 35,000 calories more than you ate.
Moderate effort on a stationary bike would burn about 1,000 calories / hour so you'd need to exercise around 35 hours / week or 5 hours / day to burn 35,000 calories. Or you could walk about 9 hours / day, run 4 hours a day or jump rope 3 hours / day.
That's a lot of exercise, most people don't have the time to do that kind of working out, or the conditioning to handle it if they did have the time.

I experimented with that through my loss. The only thing that actually made a difference in my body was if I overate on to grand total or got very close to it. (I would usually lose a little less that week.)
What made a positive difference for steady weight loss was breaking up the calories equally, spread evenly over the hours of the day.

That's what I found out myself. Going work I bring some high protein snacks and eat a little every 3 hours or so. Then at lunch and dinner I don't eat so much. I usually work out late at night, or around 8 pm so I have to eat later in the evening or I will be too hungry.
Hey I have tried all the possible things to lose weight but not satisfied..Before this here I have asked to solve my query regarding diets, diet pills but didn't get the desired answers.. Again I'm asking about the diet pills..actually I'm going to order cheap diet pills online..After comparing with others I got them..but not sure whether they gonna help me to lose weight..Can anyone help me to solve my query?
Eat less and excerise more. It's that simple unless you have a medical condition.
Put yourself on a 1200-1400 calories a day diet and start a daily excerise plan.....you will lose weight...it won't come off quickly, but it will come off. Pills, unless those prescribed by the dr, do not work. And those pills stop working once you stop taking them. You have to learn to eat less and eat better and move your body.
