"Eco" menu in the evening since the body tends to store during sleep. "Beggar's dinner, after a king's breakfast and a prince's lunch": the basic principle of Didier Guého, dietician specialized in slimming in Paris, summarizes the chronobiology of the storage of fat and sugar. Ideally, you should have absorbed 80% of your food intake in the first part of the day. To slim down at night, you must watch his plate and tame his insulin. His evening slimming program.
Calm the insulin peak at 5:30 pm: with fruit, goat or sheep yogurt, rice cake (organic), spelled, buckwheat, quinoa ...
After 5:30 pm, no sugar in all its forms such as bread (reserved for breakfast), starchy foods, pasta, rice, steamed potatoes, sweets, cakes, fruit ... Past this course , the slightest sweet nibbling puts the fat cells in storage because they may not be burned by the body and convert to fat. That's why the little square of chocolate in front of the TV is fatal.
In case of a cocktail around 7 pm , we set up a sponge system with slice of ham or quail egg, crab, shrimps, tomatoes cherry, fennel, celery, ingurgated before arriving to convert the fast sugar alcohol into slow sugar and thus reduce the insulin shot.
Beware of aspartame "It retains water and triggers insulin like real sugar," explains Didier Guého.
Above all, do not combine fat and sugar : sugar triggers insulin, which stores fat.
Watch out for the white cheese that holds the water and facilitates cellulite .
Goat's and sheep's milk is preferred to cow's milk.
We avoid drinking water during dinner . One drink before and at most one drink two hours after dinner to facilitate digestion.
If a craving looms around midnight , we put on protein (ham, egg) or vegetables (cherry tomatoes, fennel) or a large glass of water.
In case of discrepancy in the evening, we readjust the next day . For a salty (smoked salmon / lamb / mashed) or sweet (langoustines / bar / julienne vegetables / chocolate mellow) difference, we do a protein-vegetable day, even at breakfast. For a sweet and savory spread (foie gras / duck breast / fried potatoes / lemon pie), it will be a day of pure protein or fruit or vegetables. Or two days protein-vegetables.
Allow two hours between the end of the meal and bedtime. The ideal: walk for half an hour to clear the excess calories of the day and store at least.
Do not overheat your room . The body must burn calories to maintain 36 ° C.
Move in the morning on an empty stomach . Indeed, as the body slows at night and the blood sugar level is low, the body will draw its energy in fat.
