Private nutritionist Anna Ivashkevich gave us 8 reasons to open the refrigerator after 18.00.
Remember how you marveled at your best friend’s incredible weight loss? She then said that her secret was not to eat after six in the evening, never! We believed this rule for many years, but it turned out that finishing your dinner at six is not just impossible, but also harmful!
1. If you go to bed late (around 23:00 or 00:00), then your snack / dinner at 17:00 will have long been processed by the body, and you will be hungry. The frequency of such repetitions can result in a breakdown and excessive overeating at night or at night.
2. Restriction of food on time is not suitable for people actively involved in sports, associated with vigorous brain activity and night shifts of work. This will lead to a breakdown, drowsiness.
3. Many people believe that not eating after 18:00 is correct, but the best way is not to eat densely 1,5-2 hours before bedtime.
4. Food should be evenly distributed throughout the day. Calorie content of the day: 25% – breakfast, 35% – lunch, 25% – dinner. And 15% for a few snacks.
5. Refusal to eat after 18:00 is not suitable for people with ulcers and those who suffer from gastritis, since the secreted hydrochloric acid and enzymes are not used in digestion due to the fact that there is nothing to digest.
6. Fractional nutrition helps not to overextend the gallbladder – such a large stagnation of bile from 18:00 to 7:00 in the morning can be a factor in the formation of stones.
7. Long-term nutrient deprivation, taking into account activity, leads to an accumulative function. The body, on the other hand, will store weight, not reduce it.
8. After 18:00 it is useful not to eat for those who go to bed no later than 9 pm.
