In the most famous mantra of weight loss “not to eat after 18.00″ is the main positive thing – losing weight. However, it concerns not all. Perhaps no one person who was able to get rid of fat, using only a ban on the evening meal. And not only that weight loss helps a comprehensive approach: not eating at night, diet, exercise.

Drastically limiting food, people, certainly at first loses weight. But should he live up to the weekend, as the weight comes back, sometimes even doubled because of the lack of movement and increased caloric intake: parties and seeing friends do not go to waist without a trace. But psychologists believe that after the exclusion of life disappears dinner most desired meal – with family and friends. It can be said to some extent, people voluntarily deprive themselves of deserved rest. And this does not try to replace it. Therefore, over time, growing dissatisfaction with life, the desire to become aggravated and gradually returns to its previous diet.

Often, many simply forget that a mere effort of will can not change the physiological needs of the organism in food. At certain times there is a feeling of hunger, the thought of food are becoming intrusive. Thus, there is nothing surprising in the fact that because of the hunger strikers evening mood is deteriorating, and self-esteem decreases.

Delay time of 10 hours or more, which appears between the two meals causes the body to use its hidden reserves. Weight begins to decrease rapidly. But at the same time, changes in general appearance, and – alas, not for the better: the muscles become flabby, the nails are broken, hair color fade worsens and overall health. Because of the periodic long-term lack of food slows down your metabolism … and the process of weight loss eventually stops. And soon all comes back. Imposing a ban on the evening meal, not only comes from a desire to lose weight, but also because of temperament,  biological clocks, and possibly the lunar calendar.

One of the most interesting discoveries of recent times, which made therapists, diet should be built in envy of temperament. “According to psychologists, choleric enough to eat once or twice a day (breakfast from 7 am to 9 am, lunch and dinner is better to combine in an interval from 18 to 19). Most do not eat, otherwise the already rampant temperament would be difficult to contain. Sanguine, however, need to eat more often – at least four times a day: after breakfast, eat lunch at 12:00, then at 14 o’clock – lunch, at 19 o’clock – dinner. Phlegmatic enough bite two or three times a day (breakfast from 7 to 9:00, dinner – 15, dinner – 19.00). In other words, in fact, for any temperament meal after 18.00 is not contraindicated, – says registered dietitian. In contrast, a sharp rejection of late meals can lead to stress. If you’ve decided to forget about late meals, do it gradually and only if you do not feel discomfort. After all, gain extra pounds from a glass of yogurt or an apple, eaten at night is impossible. And indulge in this pleasure, you risk the whole night to suffer from lack of sleep on an empty stomach, and the next day to begin actively “jam” your stress in order to compensate for the calories spent on experiences.

Insidious biorhythms
But do not forget that the ban on the evening meal was still scientifically justified and based on biorhythms of man. As you know, in the evening decreases the activity of enzymes production, the body prepares for sleep, so these dinner calories are deposited at the waist in the form of extra inches. But in spite of biorhythms, scientists somehow forgotten that night and the desire to eat increases resist this is not easy.

The need for food in the evening doctors associated with the peculiarities of the nervous system. To sleep soundly at night, they recommend that all there is at least 2-3 hours before bedtime. For people who go to bed at 21-22.00, dinner at five or six would be just normal, and by the time when you need to go into retirement, the hunger is not worried. As a rule, these people – “larks.”

A sample daily schedule for the early bird looks like this: rise at 6 am, exercise, good breakfast. Day lunch and dinner – in the 18.00. To sleep “early bird” falls after 4-5 hours after eating, not later than 23.00. By the way, little birds, thanks to its schedule, less prone to completeness. The only danger, because of which the “lark” may grow fat – eating for breakfast. If the first meal calorie content is less than 500 calories, the excess weight they are not terrible.

“Owls,” by contrast, stand up too late – at 10-12. But even if they woke up early, breakfast is traditionally passed. By the afternoon (16-17.00), the body “night birds” included in the job, then it waits for an afternoon snack or a meal in 18.00. If the “owl” early dinner will be the last, the closer to midnight, she will forget about the data itself and promises to eat everything that comes into her eyes. But even if the winged huntress will not succumb to temptation, it is likely that the body will remember these tricky hungry hours and next time will make the calorie reserves in the event of a hunger strike. Therefore, the time between meals for “owls” should be no more than 3-4 hours. And because they go to sleep until an hour or two in the morning, that is, they need to sleep until 21-22.00. It is desirable that the dinner was not a high-calorie: a bowl of lettuce with a piece of boiled fish is quite amiss.

Despite the fact that after 18.00 digestions slow down, completely refuse to eat at night is not worth it. Just stick to one rule: dinner should consist of vegetables and cereals. They are well absorbed and has a calming effect on the nervous system: cereals and vegetables increase the level of amino acid tryptophan, which helps produce serotonin. Strict as refusal to eat after 18.00 rather harmful than useful, since then starving the cells replenish the food supply in the morning and afternoon. In addition, few people can stick to a strict regime for a long time. And it is absolutely not necessary for him to resort to those who lose weight through a system of fractional power in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, problems with sugar levels.

WHAT TO EAT IN THE EVENING?

After 20:00 you can eat.

LIGHT AND HEALTHY FOOD

From a couple of apples, oranges, two kiwi fruit, cup of yogurt, grape, cranberry, grapefruit or apple juice (they are the most rich in antioxidants, which reduce cholesterol levels in the blood) or a small number of fruits, vegetables, eaten in the evening, nothing wrong with the figure does not going to happen.

Soups have always been considered a major and integral part of a full dinner. But some time ago, a view that the first – it is not an obligatory component of a healthy diet, even harmful. This opinion is shared by some nutritionists.

Specialists on the physiology of nutrition claim: properly cooked soup will not bring harm. Moreover, it will serve as a trigger for the entire digestive system, improving digestion and assimilation of food further. So give up the first courses to those who used to them, there is no need, but it is important to cook them. And the soup can be an integral part of dietary intake, and its basis: there are a number of options soup diets.

So how to cook soup for weight loss? Let’s start with the soup: broth itself is something low-calorie, mostly dictated by its caloric fat content of meat or poultry, for which it is brewed. Accordingly, for our soup to choose meat: tenderloin, beef or veal for roasting, chicken or turkey breast, with which you want to remove the skin before cooking. But even if the minimum fat content of cooked meat or poultry broth is cooled to room temperature and refrigerate for several hours. All the incoming fat in the broth after cooling will be on the surface where it can be easily removed.

Slightly different is the case, when it comes to marine fish broth. For it is better to choose not skinny, and bold breed – salmon, mackerel, sea bass, salmon – and the fat from the broth so do not! The fact that marine fish oil contains valuable health class polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3, in which most of us experience a serious disadvantage. So in this case it is better to put up with dozens of extra calories: the benefits of omega-3 is immeasurably greater.

Is it possible to save time, use the concentrate? Yes, if it is a liquid concentrated broth. But cubes and powders in the diet is not the place. These products have very low nutritional value in comparison with natural broth, but increase the appetite. Included in their composition monosodium glutamate causes a kind of “food addiction”, and as a result of other food without flavor enhancer, it seems fresh.

We now turn to the essence of the soup that is filling it. In soups for weight loss should not be included flour, pasta, cereals (with rare exceptions), potatoes and beets, carrots, peas and corn in large quantities. The last four vegetables during thermal processing gain high glycemic index and become dangerous for the waistline.

The most famous soup for weight loss – this is, of course, Bonn. The last multiple-replication on the Internet, it unfortunately lost his original recipe. We only know that it must necessarily include celery and cabbage. The remaining ingredients vary: there are tomatoes, and cauliflower, and zucchini, garlic, onions and spices. Simmer soup Bonn is recommend to cook with chicken breast, or the veal, but more often – in broth cube. The latter, however, should not do.

So, until cooked brisket, finely chop lots and lots of cabbage – is the basis of the Bonn soup. To improve the taste, you can add Bulgarian pepper, mushrooms, tomato. Sharp and pungent spices, large quantities of salt is not necessary – they stimulate the appetite. But to use a bay leaf, marjoram, dill and parsley is: without them, much like the Bonn soup hospital – probably because of the abundance of cabbage. At the end of cooking in a pan, add celery stalks, which stimulate the metabolism and give the soup a unique flavor and aroma.

But even the biggest fan of cabbage is not able to eat soup every day Bonn. That the diet was not uniform, take into service a few more recipes.

SOUP TRADESMEN

1. Boil the broth-based wind on beef. Cool it and remove from the surface of the fat.

2. Fry the chopped onion and a small carrot in the pan. Sauerkraut, carrots and onions, add the boiling broth and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.

3. Prepare separate bowl crumbly buckwheat. It is best to give the soup a brew for 8-12 hours: this is important not only for the figure, but for the taste. When you put soup on a table add 2-3 spoons of buckwheat in it.

SOUP WITH MUSHROOMS

1. Forget the classic recipe: it requires flour and cream – as thickeners.

Slimming just need to take twice as much as usual, mushrooms themselves. Boil mushrooms until tender and blend in a blender, then return the mixture into the broth.

2. Use 1.5% milk instead of cream to give the soup a more delicate flavor. Mushroom dish pretty well saturated, despite their low calorie content, as well as a source of protein and phytoestrogens.

SOUP-PUREE OF PUMPKIN

1. Cook the veal broth or vegetable broth (carrots, onions, you can take a leek, garlic), season with its bay leaf.

2. Put the broth as much pumpkin, cut into small cubes. When it is cooked, blend the soup in a blender or rub through a sieve.

Given the very low calorie wholesome vegetables (provided that the soup is cooked in vegetable broth), you can fill the dish low-fat sour cream or add milk 1.5%.

WOMEN’S SOUP

1. Take a few inflorescence color, Brussels sprouts and broccoli (you can use frozen vegetables).

2. Boil the broth of veal or chicken. Add all three types of cabbage. The finished dish chops in a blender. Serve and garnish with greens.

This soup is a low-calorie and high content of indole-3-carbinol – a substance needed for the prevention of mastitis and maintaining the health of the female reproductive system.

SOUR SOUP COLLECTING

1. Cook basis, taking pieces of beef, veal, turkey, you can also add a bit of lean ham or pork. In sum, meat in the soup should be no more than 500-550, the

2. Season the soup of tomato paste (or chopped tomatoes), and olives. Add a couple slices of lemon. You can spice hodgepodge garlic and herbs. Grab-bag of choice for protein handling the day. Drink on this day is better savory compote of dried fruits.

SEA SOUR SOUP

1. Eat fish soup, if you do not like meat. Arrange a day in the Mediterranean style.

2. Boil the broth of any marine fish, after removing the bones and skin. Add the shrimp, mussels, calamari or seafood mix. You can “thicken” the soup, put a little seaweed, but just add it to the pot to the very end of cooking to preserve the precious iodine, which disappears on prolonged heating.

Professional nutritionists say that if the diet lost more than 5 kg body weight per week, so a there is not healthy diet. Muscle weakness and exhaustion – that’s what you get in addition to lost weight and inches.

But often based on a correct and do not harm the health food diets do not work. This is because many people do them wrong, as it should.

The vast majority of dieters in one way or another make standard errors, which prevent them to achieve the desired result.

Here are nine common mistakes of diets that prevent weight loss.

Improper sleep.

If a person goes to bed after ten o’clock at night and chronically not getting enough sleep, it worsens adrenal regeneration and added to the toxic load on the liver. This, in turn, leads to a slow metabolism and weight gain.

Too little calories.

Of course, the diet involves reducing the daily rates of food consumed.

But if you eat too little, the body as a reaction does not burn fat, but instead saves it to have a supply of energy.

This occurs when the daily intake of less than 1,200 calories.

Insufficient intake of water.

If you do not drink the required rate of ordinary water per day, significantly reduced the metabolic process (because the water is actively involved) and, consequently, slower burn fat. Calculate the rate of water for daily consumption is easy: you have your weight in kilograms multiplied by 0.15. You will receive a number of glasses of pure water per day.

Lack of exercise duration.

Of course, in the struggle for weight loss are very important physical training. But found that the loss of fat deposits begin until the 26th minute sessions.

So, while working out less this time, you just keep your current weight.

Accordingly, a continuous exercise should be given at least 30-40 minutes a day.

Insufficient intake of protein.

If you consume on a daily basis is insufficient for your weight in protein, your body is substantially slowed down the processing of fats.

How can calculate the required amount of the required component of this? Per kilogram body weight should eat about four grams of protein a day.

Too few fruits and vegetables.

If you are dieting, remember that you need every day to eat some fresh fruit and. This will help the body to stabilize insulin levels and burn fat.

Incorrect observation of the dynamics of weight loss.

No need to weigh every day. Here are indicators that you need: body mass index, fat percentage, waist to hip ratio, and caloric intake.

Improper eating.

Much better to eat smaller meals at a time, but do it more often (every 2-3 hours), than to divide the daily ration of the standard breakfast-lunch-dinner. And do not eat after 19:00.

Lack of planning.

Many people do not even think about how many calories they consume daily. But the reduction of their number to 500 a day will reduce the weight by 1 kg per week.

Monitor daily meal count her calories.

Avoid these mistakes and your diet will certainly bring you pleasing results.

The most useful are fresh vegetables. For maximum preservation of vitamins and minerals should be minimized contact vegetables with the air. Grind them just before use to be and as much as possible into large chunks. If you need to cook vegetables, then cook them in their skins and need no more than 10-15 minutes. Prolonged cooking destroys most of the nutrients.

The task of losing weight

Of course, it is impossible to make clear distinctions that at one time used only carbohydrates and fats in the other only. Actually begin to break down fats and from the very beginning of training, but this time their contribution to energy production is so small that it can be safely ignored.

After that, a lipase begin active work in process and increased the process of fat digestion. If the intensity of the workout will be too high (heart rate too high), then the blood will increase the concentration of lactic acid (anaerobic breakdown of carbohydrates results), which also inhibits the activity of lipase and process of fat digestion respectively.

In summary, as factors that increase fat burning effect of aerobic exercise, you can specify the following:

Training should be conducted on a part-stomach (less available carbohydrate).

Exclusion of carbohydrate intake during exercises.

Longer duration of training (at least 40-50 minutes).

Training intensity at 65-75% of maximum heart rate.

Regularity of exercise (at least three times a week).
