Why you can’t eat cottage cheese for dinner
A fitness trainer has dispelled the most common weight loss myth and also suggested healthy dinner options.
“Don’t eat after six”, “after five – only kefirchik”, “two hours before bedtime forget about everything except water” – familiar, isn’t it? The first thing we prepare for when we go on a diet is hungry evenings. Therefore, we know how you, the readers of Wday, were delighted with the expert opinion of the highly qualified coach Alexei Stolyarov.
“Don’t be afraid to eat before bed. Just remember: the food must be right, ”said Alexei immediately, whose physical form and the collection of won awards demonstrate the truth of the statement.
What to eat for dinner
According to the athlete, one should eat protein foods in the evening: fish, chicken, eggs. While the eaten carbohydrates will inevitably be deposited in excess on the sides. Therefore, they should be excluded from the diet for dinner.
If the feeling of hunger cannot be tolerated, Alexey advises to opt for buckwheat (maximum 50 g dry weight) or omelet.
“I would suggest making an omelet with egg whites and broccoli, green beans or spinach. Then there will be no heaviness in the stomach before going to bed, and in the morning you will start getting up easier – just try it, ”the coach says.
Cottage cheese in the evening: benefit or harm
When it comes to protein for dinner, we are sure that the first thing you think about is dairy products and, in particular, cottage cheese.
“No, no, the statement that cottage cheese is an ideal evening snack is nothing more than a myth,” Alexei surprised.
The coach is convinced of the benefits of cottage cheese, and also admitted that he himself eats it and loves it very much. However, the fact is that in a dream, restorative processes in the body are triggered. In particular, somatropin, a growth hormone, is produced. It acts on fat cells, mobilizing them and forcing them to break down. And cottage cheese (like any dairy products because of the casein contained in them) causes a strong insulin response – insulin gets in the way of somatropin, and the breakdown of fats, alas, slows down. But losing weight in a dream would be damn nice!
“You will not get better because of this. But also slow down the process of losing weight. Therefore, it is better to forget about dairy products at night, ”said Alexey.
When to eat cottage cheese
The product is best eaten in the morning (for example, with fruit) or as a snack in the afternoon. As for the quantity, it should not exceed the daily norm – 200 g.
“Eat sensibly and you will always be in great shape!” – Alexey wished in the end to the readers of Wday.
