Eat Early, Shed Weight, Spanish Study Says

 Now you're not only what you eat, but as you eat.

That's according to a new study that says eating lunch as your main meal of the day, early--before 3pm, actually--could help you fail weight.

The study, just published in the International Journal of obesity, and carried out by researchers at Spain's college of Murcia, Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital and Tufts college in Medford, Mass, included 420 overweight men and women who lived in the Spanish seaside town of Murcia. All were monitored for 20 weeks while restricting their calorie intake to about 1,400 a day.

What researchers found was this: On average, those who ate brunch early in the day lost 22 pounds, compared with the late eaters, who lost 17 pounds--an important 5-pound difference. (it's vital to note that, in Spain, lunch is the main meal of the day.)

"This was the first long-term large-scale study to really demonstrate that the timing of meals can predict weight-loss effectiveness," said one of the study's authors Frank Scheer, director of the Medical Chronobiology Program and associate neuroscientist at the hospital Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. But it all makes sense, Scheer told Allison Aubrey on NPR, and that the effects of sleep and biological clocks have long been known to affect weight regulation in animals.

"When the timing of meals doesn't match with the sleep-wave cycle, there is a disconnect between the different clocks we have in, generally, all the cells in our body," he explained to Aubrey.

The study's biggest surprise may not be in its conclusion--dieters have heard for years that they should avoid eating late at evening--but at how clear the conclusion looks like it's. Eating earlier represented the only real difference between the dieters, who were split into two groups based on whether they were early or late eaters. Not even differences in exercise, hunger levels or sleep habits seemed to make much of an impact.

The study also found that late eaters were more "night types," and that they skipped or skimped on breakfast more frequently that early eaters.

While moving to an early feast may not be too difficult for folks in Spain, where the main meal of the day happens to be lunch, it could take a bit more work here in the U.S., where the largest meal of the day tends is supper.

"What the study does is that it emphasizes that we should start thinking not only about what we eat but also when we eat," Scheer noted. "it could be that we can improve, using this novel concept, existing dietary interventions in the battle against obesity."

Dining on a big spread in the middle of the day doesn't sound half bad, in fact--as long as we'd get to take naps afterward, of course.

Anonymous Hijacks Federal Website Over Aaron Swartz Suicide

   

Activists from the hacker collective known as Anonymous assumed control over the homepage of a federal judicial agency this morning.

In a manifesto left on the defaced page, the group demanded reform to the American justice system and what the activists said are threats to the free flow of information.

The lengthy essay largely mirrors previous demands from Anonymous, but this time the group also cited the recent suicide of Reddit co-founder and activist Aaron Swartz as has having "crossed a line" for their organization. Swartz was facing up to 35 years in prison on computer fraud charges.

Prosecutors said he had stolen thousands of digital scientific and academic journal articles from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the goal of disseminating them for free.

Anonymous says Swartz was "killed because he was forced into playing a game he could not win - a twisted and distorted perversion of justice - a game where the only winning move was not to play."

"There must be a return to proportionality of punishment with respect to actual harm caused," it reads, also mentioning recent arrests of Anonymous associates by the FBI.

In their statement, the hackers say they targeted the homepage of the Federal Sentencing Commission for "symbolic" reasons.

The group claimed that if their demands were not met they would release a trove of embarrassing internal Justice Department documents to media outlets. Anonymous named the files after Supreme Court justices and provided hyperlinks to them from the defaced page.

As of press time the commission's site had been taken offline but an earlier attempt by CNN to follow the files' links yielded dead-ends, mostly offline sites.

The file names use an ".aes256? suffix, denoting a common encryption protocol. The same system was used to encrypt the Wikileaks Afghan war documents before their release.

True Lies

Anyone still remember this action movie actor? He is Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is special agent Harry Tasker, a top spy in the ultra-secret Omega Sector who also dances a mean tango- although to his neglected wife, Helen, (Jamie Lee Curtis) he's just a dull computer salesman. But while Harry's been busy fighting terrorists, Helen's been gathering secrets of her own. And when their two secret lives unexpectedly collide, Harry and Helen find themselves in the clutches of international terrorists, fighting to save not only their marriage but their lives as well. Packed with non-stop action, spectacular special effects and unprecedented stunts, this "domestic epic" from director James Cameron (Titanic, Terminator 2: Judgment Day) is a rollicking `90's twist on the super spy genre.
