Nighttime Fat Storage Antagonism

Meaning

Nighttime Fat Storage Antagonism is the clinical strategy of implementing specific nutritional and metabolic practices that actively inhibit the preferential deposition of adipose tissue during the nocturnal rest period. This targeted approach is firmly based on the chronobiological understanding that metabolic efficiency and substrate utilization shift dramatically with the body’s circadian cycle. The goal is to promote a sustained state of fat mobilization and oxidation, rather than storage, by avoiding caloric intake during the period of naturally reduced systemic insulin sensitivity.
