Time to soak in the summer sunshine to get the weight you want ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ [JJ Virgin]( When people come to me asking for tips on losing weight, they’re often surprised at the first thing I say: Get better sleep! Yes, diet and exercise are also critical components of losing weight, but living your life according to the circadian rhythm—eating, working, and socializing during daytime hours and getting restful sleep while it’s dark—really is that important when it comes to losing weight and maintaining your overall health. This week, I’m explaining the science behind why your body does better when it follows the sun. I’m sharing why it’s really not worth it to [chow down after dinner](. Then, my podcast guest Dr. Fiona McCulloch joins me in discussing how even our [fat cells can tell the difference]( between night and day! And I’ll leave you with a [breakfast shake]( so delicious you’ll be jumping out of bed to make it. [This week's blog]( Tip 1: Put an end to midnight snacks. Calling all night owls!

She goes into all the ways your body responds to its environment and your circadian rhythm, helping you uncover the best times of day to eat to keep your body running smoothly.
