Men and women who are keen on losing weight refuse to eat at night, especially after 8 o'clock. There is a theory that sleeping means that the metabolism in the body slows down and the calories consumed are reduced, which is the calories you consume before going to bed. Not as badly as when I was awake.

Dinner in the evening

Although this study sounds reasonable, recent research shows that when people sleep, their metabolism hardly changes. When they sleep, your body has many functions, your heart is still beating, your lungs are still running, and your brain is still very, very active.

All these jobs require energy, which means that we are still burning calories when we sleep. There is also a theoretical basis for getting fat after eating late at night, that is, the level of insulin rises at night, and one of the physiological functions of insulin is to store fat. Food eaten late at night is more likely to be converted into fat and stored.

Night market snacks

Because the insulin level in the blood is higher, if you compare the insulin level in the morning and evening, it is true. In the morning, the human body's insulin level is much higher than that at night, but research shows that there is no difference between the insulin level at night and during the day, that is, if the insulin level rises at the most abundant time of the day, then whoever eats in the morning will gain weight. There is also a suggestion about taking carbohydrates before going to bed. Carbohydrates are one of the main energy sources.

Unused carbohydrates are converted into glycogen and fat storage. Unfortunately, the storage space of glycogen is very limited. When the storage space of glycogen is full, most carbohydrates will be converted into fat storage, but the intake time of carbohydrates does not determine how much will be converted into fat storage.
