Morning Exercise May Offer the Most Weight Loss Benefits

From the NYTimes

Does running (or working out in general) in the morning help you lose weight more effectively than doing the same in the evening?

According to this (very early, no pun intended) research. I call it early research because the
From Wikipedia
researchers were not expecting a correlation on the time of day so did not have a theoretical framework on which to build an argument. I.e., correlation is not causation.

This is not to say this isn't perfect research - this is perfect research! Indeed finding this correlation means that they now have a new frontier to explore to find out how such a result may have come to pass.

Does this mean you should exercise only in the morning? No - the researchers found that morning or evening, those who exercised lost weight. It was that the morning exercisers lost more than the evening ones. If mornings are not an option, evenings still do good for you.
