You can eat steamed vegetables, lean poultry or fish and whole grain cereals 3 hours before bedtime. Anastasia Efimova, a nutritionist at Atlas clinics, told socialbites.ca about this.
“The best option is vegetables. Fresh or frozen, steamed or baked. Vegetables eaten in sufficient quantities can also quell sugar cravings, ”explained the doctor.
You can eat lean poultry or fish.
“In this case, one nuance must be taken into account. Poultry and fish of low-fat varieties should not be fried, especially when it comes to dinner. It is better to boil them, stew or bake, ”the doctor advised.
According to the doctor, carbohydrates are also acceptable, but only complex ones. Therefore, chips, cookies, white bread, french fries, candies will not work.
“Due to the popularity of the low-carb diet, carbohydrates do not have a great reputation, but they contain vital nutrients, so complex whole-grain carbohydrates such as buckwheat, pearl barley, bulgur, spelt, can be chosen as a side dish. ” the doctor suggested.
Anastasia Efimova added that you need to eat dinner no later than 2.5-3 hours before bedtime.
“Also, pay attention to the speed of eating, portion sizes. The role is played even by the emotional state and where and with whom a person eats, ”the nutritionist concluded.
