What to do if you are hungry before going to bed

The most painful thing in life is finding yourself hungry before going to bed. If you eat at this time, you are worried that it will be bad for your health, difficult to digest and will make you gain weight. If you don’t eat, you will be too hungry to sleep. So many people are in trouble. The editor also sometimes has a headache for this problem. Therefore, today the editor will communicate with you, what should we do if we are hungry before going to bed?

To eat or not to eat, please see below.

1. What can I eat after 9 pm?

It is best not to eat after 9 pm, especially for those who are losing weight, they should change the habit of eating midnight snacks. But sometimes when I get busy at work, I don’t realize it’s already past 9 o’clock but I haven’t had dinner yet, and the midnight snack comes quietly.

Late-night snacks are extremely taboo for people who are losing weight. Try not to eat 3 hours before going to bed, otherwise the food you eat will easily turn into fat, resulting in all your previous efforts being wasted. Even low-calorie foods such as lettuce salad can hinder weight loss. Therefore, friends who want to lose weight should be aware that if they can control themselves from eating after 9 o'clock, they should do so.

2. After 10 p.m., the biological clock begins to instruct the cells in the body to "store fat"

At 22:15 every day, the body begins to convert excess calories into fat and store it. This is a theory that has been confirmed by research. 10 pm to 2 am is the time when fat is stored most actively, and the storage efficiency is 20 times that of around 3 pm.

At the same time, after 10 o'clock in the evening, melatonin in the blood begins to increase and body temperature begins to drop. People who are used to working late at night are under too much stress and tend to gain weight. According to previous statistical results, people who are used to being night owls are more likely to be obese.

Our advice is still, "People who are losing weight should not eat midnight snacks, and dinner should be finished before 9 o'clock." Try to avoid consuming high-fat foods such as oil or cheese, rice or noodles, bread, sweets, fruits, sweet potatoes, etc. at dinner. If you consume them at dinner, the sugar will be absorbed by the body quickly and then flow out through the blood, and body fat will be stored in the body.

3. Light meals suitable for eating after 9 pm

Eat hot foods as much as possible. Protects the stomach and intestines while increasing satiety.
