tired people are more likely to crave high calorie foods

Probably the most repeated diet myth of all is the one which claims that eating late at night adds more fat to your body than eating in the morning. We can't remember how many times that we have seen dieticians and nutritionists say that calories consumed late at night turn into fat by morning. The simple fact is that there is no clinical evidence whatsoever that the time of day when you ingest your food has any bearing on whether it ends up as fat or not. Calories do not know what time of day it is and the human body uses up calories in the same way throughout a 24 hour period.

However there is a reason why many nutritionist and dieticians warn people about eating heavily in the evening and that is because the chances are at the end of the day you are tired and tired people are more likely to crave high calorie foods and to make poor food choices. It is funny how people rarely come down to breakfast saying that they are starving hungry whereas by the end of the day many more people say exactly that.

Eating healthily often requires that you don’t let yourself get too hungry because that is when you will fall off the bandwagon and order a pizza or get a takeaway. One way to stop yourself binging in the evening is to eat regular meals throughout the day. Some people feel virtuous by eating practically nothing all day but then mess up in the evening when they go out. Keeping your stomach full during the day with healthy snacks such as fruit will mean that at the end of the day you are more likely to make healthy food choices.

Some people find it difficult to go to sleep if they don’t feel full and we sympathise with them at Ukmedix News, however there is no reason why you need to feel full with unhealthy food and you can always stuff yourself with fruit and vegetables as well as many other different low calorie foodstuffs.
