The foods we eat for dinner can have a big impact on weight gain. In this regard, the most dangerous are dishes rich in fat, carbohydrates and salt. One of them is fried meat with potatoes or meat baked in the French oven, endocrinologist, nutritionist at SM-Clinic, candidate of medical sciences Oksana Mikhaleva told socialbites.ca.
“This is one of the worst dinner options, containing a large amount of calories, fat and simple carbohydrates, which turn into fat reserves and can accumulate in the waist area for many years,” warns Mikhaleva.
According to him, eating such easily digestible and high-calorie foods in the evening prevents the burning of calories, as it causes a feeling of fatigue, relaxation and the desire to lie down instead of walking for miles. It also disrupts the production of “fat burning” hormones at night and stimulates the release of insulin, which contributes to the formation of fat in the internal organs.
“If you are trying to control your weight, dinner should not be too late (it is recommended to have it at least 2-3 hours before bedtime) and of course it should not be heavy. Suitable options may be vegetables, lean meat or fish, small amounts of healthy cereals and cottage cheese dishes,” concluded Mikhaleva.
