In recent years, many people who want to lose weight and fat are advocating low-sugar (low-carbon) diet. Generally speaking, the rule of low-sugar diet is to try not to eat high-carbohydrate foods such as bread, and eat foods containing protein and vegetables for lunch and dinner. In addition, it is especially emphasized not to eat carbohydrates for dinner. The theory behind it is that at night, our physical activity is generally low, our metabolic rate slows down, and the carbohydrates we eat will be converted into fat because they are not used.

Do you think quitting carbohydrates at night can really help you lose weight? After all, can quitting carbohydrates at night really help you lose weight?

In fact, our bodies burn a certain amount of calories every day to keep running all day. This value is called "basal metabolic rate". Based on the daily exercise of each of us, we can calculate the "total calories consumed every day". This calorie count will vary from person to person. Generally, men or athletes who exercise a lot have higher daily total calorie consumption.

If your goal is to lose weight, then we must reduce the daily calorie intake figure, which is commonly known as "negative calorie net value". Many experts and scholars suggest that people who want to lose weight should reduce their daily total calorie intake by 15-20%, which means that their intake accounts for about 80-85% of their daily total calorie intake. For example, if your "total daily calorie consumption" is 2000 calories and your goal is to lose weight, then you should set your calorie intake to 1600 calories (2000*80%= 1600), which will create a calorie gap of 400 calories.

Instead of advocating not eating carbohydrates, it is better to understand the "total daily calorie consumption" to create a calorie gap. Refuse to eat carbohydrates for dinner? After reading this article, you will definitely want to ask what the above-mentioned "total daily calorie consumption" and "negative net calorie value" have to do with eating carbohydrates for dinner. In fact, the most important thing to lose weight or fat is perseverance. The above is the theory of heat balance of our human body. So whether we eat carbohydrates for dinner actually has less influence on weight loss or fat loss.

I believe many people must be surprised by this! But as long as you keep in mind, the total calorie intake every day is what we should pay attention to, and the calorie intake per meal is second; It is true that our activity at night will be reduced, so the excess carbohydrates absorbed at dinner will be "temporarily" converted into fat and accumulated in the body, but when your body needs energy the next day, you will still extract these temporarily accumulated fats and convert them into energy for daily operation.

Therefore, eating carbohydrates for dinner may not have a bad effect on losing weight or fat, but there are two things you must abide by. First, you should reach 15-20% of the "negative calorie net value" every day, and the carbohydrate absorbed the next day will not exceed the amount of your daily diet plan. As long as you can strictly implement the above two points, even if you eat rice or noodles for dinner, it will not affect your great cause of slimming and reducing fat!
