Endocrinologist and nutritionist Dr. Oksana Panova shares with us what foods we should not choose for dinner in order not to affect our metabolism. “There is no need to give dinner to the enemy, as a famous proverb advises, the doctor believes. We just have to exclude certain foods from it, such as potatoes, rice, pasta, sweets and fruits with a high glycemic index,” says the expert. “The evening meal is necessary for the correct regulation of metabolism, so refusing to eat in the evening it will slow down metabolic activity and contribute to the growth of adipose tissue,” Dr. Panova emphasizes. “Choose lean proteins: chicken, turkey, lean beef, eggs, fish or seafood. As a side dish, prefer boiled, stewed, fried vegetables and greens. You can make a fresh vegetable salad,” advises the doctor. Simple carbohydrates Leave potatoes, white rice and pasta for another meal. These foods will negatively affect the state of the pancreas, and it will begin to produce large amounts of insulin. Insulin is dangerous because it causes obesity and type 2 diabetes. If you eat nothing else, you can rely on complex carbohydrates: brown rice, for example. A portion should not exceed 150 grams, but it is better to stop at 100 grams,” says the nutritionist. Sweets and pastries It is strictly forbidden to eat sweets and pastries at dinner, notes the doctor. She calls them a “real calorie bomb.” They are delicious, but guaranteed to raise your blood sugar. The doctor urges you to remember that excess insulin will block the production of somatotropin, a fat-burning hormone. It is synthesized during sleep and supports the breakdown of adipose tissue. Somatotropic hormone is involved in the metabolic processes of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, as well as in the regulation of water balance. It is related to the growth of the body and is very important for children; it is also called growth hormone. Somatotropin, according to research, can rejuvenate the body, literally “turning back time”. But be careful: there is also a negative side effect – somatotropin can promote the growth of existing tumors, both benign and malignant. Salty foods Choosing salty foods for dinner, including smoked meats, will lead to bloating. Getting enough sleep will be problematic – salty food makes you thirsty, excessive alcohol consumption leads to frequent urination at night. “Sauces from the store and fatty meats are a bad choice because metabolic activity slows down at night. Such a dinner will lead to heaviness in the stomach, poor digestion and difficulty falling asleep, and in the long term it will lead to overweight,” said the doctor, according to actualno.com. Fruits with a high glycemic index Also, fruits with a glycemic index high should not be eaten at dinner, because of their effect of increasing blood sugar levels, exquis.ro cites.
