It's time to stop believing the popular myth and have dinner 2-3 hours before bed.
There is an opinion that in order to lose weight you can't eat after 6:00 PM. You supposedly need to wait until the morning.
In fact, scientists and doctors have proven that going to bed on an empty stomach is dangerous. It is a serious blow to the liver.
When the glycogen supply is depleted, fat begins to accumulate in this organ. The liver turns into a kind of "depot" of fat, which the body uses in emergency situations.
Nutritionists advise eating no later than 2-3 hours before bedtime. Of course, you can't overeat either, but you can choose foods that will be beneficial and satisfy your hunger.
For example, these can be fermented milk products, which stimulate the production of a hormone called melatonin. It is extremely important for healthy sleep and relaxation of the nervous system.
After 6:00 pm you can enjoy a banana or grapes, drink a cup of green tea with dried fruits.
A light dinner can be prepared from white fish, lean beef, seafood, eggs or baked vegetables.
For desserts, you can have marshmallows. They contain molasses, pectin, puree from natural fruits, and egg white. Another big plus of this treat is that it is fat-free.
