Light dinner. Can i?

The modern rhythm of life does not provide an opportunity to eat on schedule, observing all the norms prescribed by dietitians. For breakfast we eat what we have, at lunch - what we have, and only for dinner we can eat something tasty and not always useful. This trend is absolutely contrary to Suvorov's phrase that breakfast is eaten alone, lunch should be shared with a friend, and dinner is given to the enemy. But, nevertheless, nutritionists insist that the evening diet should include a low-calorie light supper.

Supper before bedtime is not very useful, and we all know this very well. This is especially true for those people who are trying to lose weight. The resulting calories from such a dinner can not be wasted during sleep, and they affect the figure. This is why you should carefully choose the time for eating. Domestic nutritionists recommend dinner somewhere 3-4 hours before bedtime, and do not eat too much. That is, eat in such a quantity that you do not feel the heaviness in the stomach.

It is not recommended to consume bread, potatoes, fried meat, pastries and all kinds of sweets for dinner. This "light" dinner certainly should be given to the enemy, which, incidentally, will not bring the body benefits and breakfast. In this situation it is better to stay without dinner at all, than to spoil your health. Although, according to Australian scientists, a night raid on the refrigerator without fail helps to overcome insomnia. Decide for yourself how to act. But you can compromise. Prepare a light and healthy dinner, stay full, content, and do not hurt your figure.

By the way, national traditions about dinner are quite diverse. In Anglo-Saxon countries, he falls for 6-7 hours, consists of salads, potatoes, meat and dessert. Scandinavians have a very satisfying dinner, but at the same time it is useful. They prefer fish dishes, which are considered less caloric, and the meal itself is at 5 pm. Latinos dinner is held at a later time of the day. Eating at 10 pm, their plates are filled with vegetable salads and grilled meat. The most useful and light supper is found on the tables of the Japanese. They eat low-calorie meals in small portions, which helps satisfy hunger and give the body a night's respite.

The foregoing immediately raises the question of what it is better to eat for dinner. It turns out, to prepare a useful light dinner and to stay full simply. First of all, it's all sorts of cereals and vegetable salads in lean oil. Mayonnaise is excluded from the evening diet once and for all. Diversify the menu can be an omelette with cheese and tomato or seafood, sprinkling on top of fresh herbs. Such a dinner will fill the body with iodine, folic acid and other valuable microelements and vitamins. If the body requires meat, then you can prepare dishes from the lean menu, using chicken, turkey or rabbit meat.

We sum up. Supper should be sure, with it not fatty food, but easy. The time of the meal depends on how much you are accustomed to go to bed. You can eat after 18.00 if your dream is after 10 pm. Hungry to go to bed in any case impossible, because the body must make supplies for the night, otherwise you can not avoid insomnia.
