If you insist on skipping dinner for a month, what will happen in the end? Many friends who lose weight want to know the answer to this question. In daily life, or friends who have had the idea of losing weight, they will first think of dieting, and dinner will be the first to be removed. So, can skipping dinner really achieve the goal of losing weight or losing weight? Next, Dr. Zhang will introduce the content of this aspect. #HealthTrue Knowledge Program#
In fact, many friends who have experienced weight loss know that skipping dinner may cause weight loss in a short period of time. But skipping dinner comes with weight loss, in most cases due to water loss. The consequences of this practice are not only easy to regain weight, but even damage to physical health. Usually, Dr. Zhang also has to face the problem of weight control, but I do not advocate the weight loss method of skipping dinner, because it is a way of doing more harm than good. So, let’s list 3 hazards of skipping dinner:
One, the harm of skipping dinner
1. It is easy to cause hypoglycemia
There are not a few friends who do not eat dinner because of losing weight and suffer from hypoglycemia. Dr. Zhang has encountered many similar cases clinically. Throughout the evolutionary history of human beings, eating dinner has been retained as a living habit since the material enrichment of human society. If the habit of eating dinner for thousands of years is suddenly changed, some friends may experience low blood sugar.
2. It is easy to reduce resistance
The pace of modern life is very fast. Some young friends do not eat at night because they want to lose weight, but they have to stay up late at night to work overtime. On the surface, skipping dinner is for weight control, but with the passage of time, the problem of reduced resistance due to lack of ability to intake will gradually appear. In daily clinical work, it is often possible to see patients who develop diseases due to the reduced resistance of not eating dinner. Regarding this issue, I hope you can pay attention to it.
3. It is easy to affect the quality of sleep
There are also some friends who don’t eat dinner will feel this way. When they go to bed at night, they feel very hungry and can’t sleep at all. This is a sleep problem caused by skipping dinner, and poor sleep will further affect the body’s immunity and people’s mental state.
Actually, suddenly cutting off the diet at night will cause great adverse effects on the digestive tract, endocrine, metabolism and other bodily functions, and then lead to the appearance of diseases.
Second, how to improve it?
We often hear this phrase in our daily life, that is, “eat breakfast well, lunch full, dinner small”. For friends who need to lose weight, they can eat dinner scientifically according to the following three requirements:
1. Eat dinner early
Friends who need to control their weight can eat dinner early, at least not too late, which is helpful for weight control. Some recent medical studies by Japanese scholars have also confirmed this. This Japanese medical study found that people who eat dinner at 6 pm are healthier and live longer than those who eat dinner at 9 pm. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, but the main reason is that after food enters the human gastrointestinal tract at night, it takes about 4 hours to be completely emptied from the stomach. Nowadays, people basically sleep at around 10-11 o’clock. At this time, if you want to go to bed after emptying your stomach, you need to eat dinner at 6-7 o’clock in the evening. Moreover, people generally consume less energy at night. Eating dinner too late or eating too much may store the excess energy in the body, making it easier to gain weight. So, from a different perspective, it may be more appropriate to eat dinner earlier, especially before 7pm.
2. Light dinner
Eat on the premise of weight control. Be careful not to eat too greasy meals. You can consider foods with relatively low energy such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and relatively light foods. This is also more important for weight control. aspect. In this regard, Dr. Zhang has always suggested that everyone try to choose cereals, potatoes, vegetables and fruits and other foods to reduce the energy intake of dinner. After all, eating too much energy at night can easily lead to obesity.
Eat earlier, lighter, less
3. Eat less for dinner
At night, people are less active. If they eat too much food, they are prone to obesity. Therefore, everyone can eat seven or eight full meals for dinner. Be careful not to eat too much. Well, don’t eat energy-dense foods. In fact, to put it simply, no matter how healthy the ingredients are, you should also pay attention to the right amount. If you eat too much, even vegetables and fruits will make you fat. Therefore, you must control an appropriate amount. It is best not to overeat. Pay attention to control the amount, especially More attention should be paid to those who eat a lot.
In short, for friends who are willing to lose weight, Dr. Zhang’s personal view is that skipping dinner is an unhealthy habit. But how to eat dinner needs to pay attention to many issues, such as eating earlier in time, choosing lighter food, and not eating too much. In fact, as long as the details of the diet are done well, healthy weight loss may be better!
