If you want to lose some weight, that eating before bed should be excluded from your eating habits. If you got fueled before going to bed, than at night your blood will be full of insulin, that is involved in fat production processes. Growth hormone, distinguished by its ability not only to accelerate the growth of the organism, but also to participate in the process of burning fat, won’t work, on the contrary, as it might have dunring the night time, when it releases naturally.
But don’t mix up the slight feeling of hunger and starvation. You may eat couple of hours before goin to bed, but your food must be light. Eating 3 or 4 hours before bedtime you will give your body enough time to burn calories and empty gastrointestinal tract from the food But if you will eat a good big sandwich just before falling asleep, guess what happen? Yes, you’ll get up at morning with a stomach still full of this sandwich, because night is the time when metabolism slows down and you body rests. So at morning it is 99% that you’ll skip breakfast because you’re not hungry. But skipping your breakfast catches you in the trap of late eating that is bad for any kind of diet based on metabolism processes. As you see, eating before bed can seriously affect your eating habits all in all.
So what should you remember in order to arrange your eating habits before bed properly?
  1. You may eat 3 hours before going to bed.
  2. You can avoid feeling of hunger if get a good habit to eat often, but in small portions. That will prevent insulin level from spiking and won’t make you feel so called ‘hormonal hunger’, caused by insulin.
  3. You may include at your latest meal lean proteins and some fibrous carbohydrates, but fat and simple carbs (pasta, bread, potatoes, etc) are not allowed if you want to stay slender.
  4. Sometimes your hunger is a desperate need in carbohydrates. It’s hard to resist it, so eat them, but choose the high-fiber kind, such as cereal or vegetables. You may also eat some cheese, especially if you’re training a lot.
As you see, the rules are not so strict and painful for not to follow. Try and see how you life will change for the better!
