Evening nutrition during weight loss - do vs don’t

Evening nutrition during weight loss - do vs don't Evening nutrition is one of the biggest problems for much people during weight loss periods. I didn’t know much about evening nutrition years ago.

But now I want to share with you some tips and nutrition discoveries. I know that there are much people who know much more than me about nutrition and I will be happy if we make a good discussion on this topic.

First sometimes no matter how much you know about weight loss nutrition is hard to follow your diet and right habits.

Bad thing is that very often we break our nutrition habits in the evening. Why?

This is because when you are on diet whole day – you became weaker and weaker and when evening come you don’t have powers, you are very hungry and break your diet.

In this article I will share just what I know is good or bad and what you have to do and don’t. Also some decisions:)

1) Eat a bit more before your evening meal.

Good decision you should do is to take more food with your meal before evening nutrition. This will decrease your appetite and you won’t get “mad” about food when evening came.

Also because it is right to take only protein rich food with your last meal, you should take carbohydrates with before-evening nutrition – again this will decrease your appetite.

I have problems with my appetite:) I am hungry all the time and it is hard sometimes to handle it, but I use this weight loss trick and it helps me a lot.

2) Don’t reverse your weight loss nutrition.

Some people do this. They reverse their nutrition plans and because they do it, they reverse also their results.

It is not right to eat small meals for breakfast and during a day to increase your food intake. This will break your weight loss diet and goal.

So I am sure you know as well that your breakfast have to be bigger than your dinner.
I think this reverse system is invited by someone who don’t like morning meals and because of that he tries to calm down his conscience:) May be it is just like that, who knows.

OK you know once more that you shouldn’t do that. Just follow the “pyramid” – your carbohydrates have to go down during the day.

3) Don’t miss your evening meal.

This is important if you are one of not so many people who want to lose weight healthy.
Much people eat lot of food for dinner, Much people haven’t dinner at all. But I think you should have dinner. I have protein rich food for my evening nutrition and veggies – this is perfect combination.

Sometimes I miss my dinner and then I don’t feel good. I am hungry, I can’t sleep – this is because I do cardio and weight training and it is “sin” if you don’t give your body what it deserves after hard training.

If you are training man or woman, then you have chose healthier, but difficult way and you should take care of your all day nutrition, not only of your dinner:)

4) You can eat more on dinner:)

Yes you can. And I do it too, but there is “BUT”.

When I am busy with my work and I am late I do my training and cardio just before my evening nutrition. And then as you can guess your dinner become after-training nutrition.

After-training nutrition has to be carbohydrates and protein rich. You can even take sweet foods and there won’t be consequences:) I do it all the time.

Remember that after training you should eat more food no matter what time of the day your training is.

Summary:
Do:
- eat more before your last evening meal;
- eat more on your evening meal if it is after training meal;

Don’t:
- miss your evening meal;
- overeat in dinner;
- reverse weight loss nutrition model;

“When I am hungry in the evening I take lot of veggies and then I go to sleep”
