We Dutch people stick to our regular eating times. You have breakfast before ten o’clock, between twelve and one o’clock it is time for lunch and dinner is always on the table at six o’clock in the evening. How healthy is it really to eat at fixed times?
Do you get your metabolism going if you let your body get used to the fixed times for breakfast, lunch and dinner? We’re not talking about eating at set times to lose weight or burn more calories. What is it about? A stable blood sugar level and confidence in your hunger and satiety feeling. What we eat is still a lot more important than when we eat. However, choosing a fixed time for your meals can help you.
Get used to regular eating times
Are you still hungry after a big meal? Or have you not eaten for hours and still not hungry? Eating at regular times can restore your hunger and satiety feeling. You can get your body used to the regular eating times. Your body will expect food at these times and then gives you a hunger signal around the time of your regular eating moment. Useful! Learn to eat more and more intuitively. Want to go one step further? Try mindful eating.
Dinner around six o’clock
In addition, dining earlier in the evening can help stabilize your blood sugar. Researchers found that early dinner (at 6 p.m. instead of 9 p.m.) has a positive impact on blood sugar levels. Eating your meal earlier in the evening extends the time you fast. This not only has a positive effect on the glucose levels in the blood, but also improved insulin sensitivity, blood pressure and triglyceride levels (fats in the blood). This investigation confirms that eating later in the day increases cardiovascular risk factors. Read here how to eat breakfast for a stable blood sugar level.
