When we stop to think about our diet, change our attitude to benefit our health, especially when the goal is to lose weight, so many people decide to cut down on food, cut carbohydrates from the diet, eliminate dinner, etc. And are these attitudes correct?
Seeking a dietitian at these times is very important. With the accompaniment of the nutritionist a diet is prepared according to your routine, your body and your needs, ensuring a balanced and risk-free eating your health.
It is already well-known that at night our metabolism tends to be slower simply because we are at a slower pace, with less activity, and our own psychological understands, by being so accustomed, that at daybreak comes the moment to rest.
The warning is that it is not for this reason that we will stop eating at night, after all the ideal is to eat every three hours. Food is our source of energy and our metabolism needs stimulation to stay active (even at a slower pace).
Night feeding is not prohibited. It's essential. But it needs to be done correctly. It is recommended for the end of the day to eat low-calorie, fat-free, easily digestible foods with lower sodium and sugar content.
The time of the last meal of the day is also important. Ideally, dinner should be until 8:30 pm, as that is when our body is still in relatively high activity. For those who out of necessity? night work, travel? or even by choice, maintain a standard with different times for sleeping and waking up, ideally the last meal before bed at least 3 hours in advance, which is the time that our body takes for complete digestion.
But what should we eat for dinner then? Raw salad, chicken soup with vegetables, toast, tea, minas cheese, turkey breast, etc.
