We run all day, snacking on something on the go, and in the evening we gorge ourselves heartily. And not just a light salad with steamed fish. There are smoked appetizers and mayonnaise salad, for hot meat baked with fat, a donut for dessert. Let's drink cola and sleep. As a result, overweight, stomach problems, diseases of the cardiovascular system. This is not what you deserve for hard everyday life! 

We tell you how to refuse heavy meals in the evening, and plan your diet during the day.

6 effective tips for a healthy diet.

1. Dinner should not be late

 

During the meal, there is no need to rush, but sitting at the table for too long will not bring any benefit either. In this case, there is a great risk of eating too much, moreover, it is quite possible to stay up late. And then all that's left for you is to go to bed with a stuffed stomach.

Not only is poor sleep and nightly trips to the toilet provided, but also the weight is likely to increase.

Try to eat dinner no later than two hours before bedtime!

2. Food satisfies only food hunger.

Jokes that in the evenings you want romance, communication or something to chew on have a certain amount of truth in them. It's about plain boredom. As a result, many people, without noticing it, casually walk to the refrigerator in search of something to eat. A sandwich eaten before going to bed, a piece of cake, or 200 grams of cookies will not benefit, rather the opposite.

If you want to eat in the evening, you need to think about whether you are really hungry or is it banal boredom? In the first case, you can eat an apple or drink a glass of kefir; in the second case, you will have to fight with yourself, unlearning such an addiction.

3. Regular diet

 

Meals must be planned. And, everything, including the evening. And if for some reason you didn’t manage to have dinner on time, you will have to do it later, but already in the form of a light snack. No heavy dinner before rest.

The joke that war is war, and lunch is on schedule, has a healthy grain. The pace of life of modern people is really frantic, things are always overwhelming. However, this is not a reason to skip meals. Remind yourself that 15-20 minutes won't make a big difference, but it's enough time to eat, recharge, and avoid overeating before bed.

4. Nutrition should be balanced

 

It does not matter whether you eat in your usual mode or diet, but the diet must be balanced. Otherwise, the body begins to demand the missing components. And he does this through hunger. Alas, it enters the gastrointestinal tract, in this case, not at all what was needed. For example, if you want to eat something fatty, then this indicates a lack of calcium. It is found in dairy products, sesame and legumes. When there is a need for sweets, then most likely there is not enough carbohydrate. By the way, the same situation with the desire to eat something fried to a half-burnt crust. The way out in both cases is to eat fresh fruit. Of course, this will require a certain amount of willpower, because chewing a pear or an apple instead of a toast or a piece of chocolate is not the height of pleasure. But it is useful.

If you eat in such a way that all the necessary components enter the body, then such food battles alone with yourself, and even before going to bed, can be successfully avoided.

5. Snacking should be kept to a minimum.

 

Of course, eating something between lunch and dinner is not a crime. But it is clearly impossible to abuse snacks. And even more so when the evening is approaching and the time for rest will soon come. And after dinner, such meals should generally be taboo. Otherwise, overeating, along with all the detrimental consequences, is guaranteed to you.

If you really want to, you can eat an apple or drink a glass of kefir / fermented baked milk. But no sandwiches and sweets with muffins.

6. Don't Skip Breakfast

 

It is in the morning after waking up that the body needs food more than ever. Therefore, this food needs to be provided to him. A full hearty meal will help not only to feel cheerful and full of energy, but also relieve the pangs of hunger in the afternoon. And this is perhaps the only time when you can eat something extra without consequences. It is still consumed by the body throughout the day.

Of course, all these tips do not exclude the presence of willpower and a conscious desire to give up overeating before bed. For all their simplicity, they are quite effective and will certainly bring a positive result if you take them into service.
