If you’ve been trying to lose weight for some time it’s likely a health professional (and I’m not referring to social media influencers) has advised you at one time or another to avoid late-night eating.

We all know someone who always seems to be on a diet but never actually seems to lose any weight or we may be that person ourselves.
