Many of us want to keep thin and healthy．But do you really know how？Here are some new studies．They show that sleeping may help lose weight，but eating less may not!

Less sleep，fatter legs and arms

People without enough sleep are fatter，according to a new study from Nutrients．Scientists divided sleep time into three types：short sleep（less than 7 hours a day），normal sleep（7 to 9 hours），and long sleep（more than 9 hours）．Then they studied 9，413 people from the US．Results show that，compared with（和…比较）normal sleepers，short sleepers have more fat on their legs and arms!

Dinner is important

Many people don’t eat dinner to lose weight．But scientists at Osaka University，Japan，said this might not be the answer．They did a study with 200，000 university students．Then they found that if people don’t eat dinner，it’s easier for them to put on weight．One reason，scientists said，might be that people without dinner are hungrier，so they eat more during the day．

Mukbang（吃播）makes you eat more

If you want to lose weight，stop watching mukbang! In a new study，scientists asked people to watch a cooking or nature television show．They found that those who watched the cooking program ate more chocolate，compared to the nature program．
