Nutritionist, expert in healthy eating Tatyana Meshcheryakova: some foods are absolutely not suitable for dinner.
Doctor Meshcheryakova named foods that are contraindicated for dinner. According to her, these include, first of all, foods that require long digestion, prompt the body to actively produce enzymes. Such activity leads to sleep disturbances, and a person is deprived of the opportunity to have a normal night's rest.
“Some foods are absolutely not suitable for dinner. Heavy fatty dishes and smoked meats are contraindicated: pork, lamb, duck, goose, as well as lard and any semi-finished meat products like sausages or frankfurters. It is advisable to exclude legumes: beans, peas, chickpeas, lentils,” Meshcheryakova listed in a comment to Gazeta.Ru.
The doctor added that certain foods are contraindicated for dinner if a person needs to lose weight. In order to lose weight and get rid of fat deposits on the stomach, you need to be careful when consuming carbohydrates in the evening, Meshcheryakova emphasized. Even if we are talking about complex and healthy carbohydrates (whole grains), it is better to eat dishes made from them during the daytime, not in the evening.
As for simple, refined carbohydrates, eating them for dinner can affect the appearance of significant excess weight.
“You should also give up simple carbohydrates (white bread, sweet desserts, candy, cookies, pastries, sweet drinks), as well as fruit. All of them provoke the release of a large dose of insulin, in the future these “empty” carbohydrates will be deposited as fat in the abdomen and hips,” the expert warned.
What is the best thing to eat for dinner? The ideal option is a vegetable salad with a small portion of white meat or fish, or a handful of nuts.
