Another controversial technique for accelerating fat loss is the avoidance of food for at least two to three hours before bedtime. Increased fat loss is achieved by increasing the length of the nighttime fast (which is broken by “break-fast”). Fat loss is also believed to be increased by avoiding food at a time when activity levels will be low (and the body will not be burning many calories), when glycogen may be topped off from a full day of eating, and when insulin sensitivity is lower. The potential benefit is high, but so is the risk. Body composition must be carefully monitored when using this technique.
RISK: 3 (high)
BENEFIT: 3 (high)

Why would this be a 3 risk? Is it the concern for lean mass (muscle) reduction?? Wouldn't that just be two the person is dieting for real fat loss? Or if the person is an athlete just cutting a few pounds, or a body builder, it would be a more serious loss?
Or cause you wake up Hungrier, and are more likely to eat a larger meal?
