Thinny Me!

1. Eat before bed

Consequences: pounds are deposited in proportion to calorie intake per day, not necessarily correlated with time of day when you eat. However, consumption of food slows gastric emptying evening making it difficult digestion.

Solution: avoid fatty foods, the last meal, at least three hours before bedtime.

2. Eating too fast

Consequences: the disruption of the process of digestion and assimilation of calories is faster. Meals on the run can cause gastroesophageal reflux and heartburn.

Solution: reduce meals in quantity and while sleeping keep your head higher than the body.

3. Portions too big

Consequences: a mistake that you tend to do especially when you are very hungry, consuming more calories this way.

Solution: also serve an appetizer that should reduce your hunger a little (usually consisting of more “lighter” food), eat smaller portions. Eat small portions several times a day.

4. Insufficient hydration

Consequences: slow metabolism, weight gain, constipation.

Solution : drink at least two liters of water, natural juices and teas (green tea).

5. Whole grain products

Consequences: the fibers that the cereals contain help a good digestion, but a lot of products – whole-grain bread, biscuits, bars – do not contain half the amount necessary to say that they are “whole grain based products”. Most contain white flour with a low content of whole grain.

Solution : To make sure you choose the appropriate product, look carefully on the labeling, which must specify that the second component are whole grains.
