According to the time-tested principles of healthy living heavy foods at night is the root cause for all disorders. The rule of thumb for successful weight loss is consuming more food throughout the day and end up with a light dinner.
Eating late at night is conducive for various health complications to attack you at your early age.
Eating a dinner according to your appetite (that’s what called a ‘light’ dinner) reasonably early is one of the vital things for your lifelong happiness, health and performance.
Your dinner should ideally be meat-free. If you can’t start it right away, this can be done very gradually. It’s always a better choice to go for a piece of grilled fish and vegetables instead of reaching out for a steak or pork chop.
You should plan carefully so that you don’t miss the other two meals of the day and ending up eating everything in front of you at night. If you do this you are setting yourself up for failure. Try to avoid carb-loaded vegetables like potatoes or corn. You can choose asparagus, mushrooms and leafy greens instead. Yes, these also contain digestible carbohydrates but the difference these make to the overall carb count is scanty.
You have to keep your temptations at bay if you really want to have it ‘light’ at dinner. Keeping junk food, sugary items or dessert in the fridge and pantry will test your willpower every night. Suggestion is don’t taste your willpower every night!
Keep in mind that a light dinner doesn’t mean you have to remain hungry for rest of the night. Choose lean proteins along with fiber rich foods to meet your satiation. This is a wise way to go rather than reaching for second or third meal in the same night.
If you choose to drink after dinner, choose a carbohydrate free beverage. This will be complementary to your light dinner. Stay away from fruit juices, soft drinks or other sweetened beverages. Water is the best thing you can take at night. However, if you find plain water not tasty add lemon or lime juice to your beverage list. Peppermint tea is also a great option for soothing your stomach.
If you wake up in the morning clear, refreshed and feeling light that’s an indication of appropriate dinner. If you feel sluggish and heavy in the morning that suggests your dinner was not light or you need to take your dinner earlier. These suggestions are based on the eternal principles that are governing human digestion. The more you stick to these the more you will make your mornings brighter!
