Modern society often views thinness as beauty; everyone hopes to be a bit slimmer, especially during the summer when no attractive clothing can hide one’s flabs. As a result, many people join the ranks of those trying to lose weight. In the process of losing weight, many naturally take up dieting methods, such as skipping dinner. But does skipping dinner really help with weight loss? Actually, this method is not very advisable. Frequently skipping dinner can likely cause endocrine disorders. Once our body’s endocrine system is disrupted, it not only hinders weight loss but may also lead to weight gain. In fact, eating the right dinner is very beneficial for weight loss. If you can follow these three steps regularly, your weight can quietly decrease.
During weight loss, eating dinner, actually, follow these 3 steps, and weight will quietly drop!
1. Eat less meat and more vegetables
To successfully lose weight, it is essential to maintain regularity in three meals a day, and one must never skip meals. However, it is advised to eat less meat and more light, low-calorie, low-fat foods for dinner. If you want to eat meat, try to choose lower-fat options, such as chicken or fish, but don’t overeat during dinner—just a few bites to satisfy cravings will suffice.
2. Control the timing and amount of food intake
For those trying to lose weight, dinner should ideally be eaten between 6 and 7 PM, and avoid having dinner too late. Eating too late can lead to incomplete digestion of food in our stomachs, which not only affects sleep quality but also easily leads to fat accumulation in the body. If you can finish dinner by around 6 or 7 PM, it gives food ample time to digest before sleeping, benefiting both your health and preventing excessive weight gain.
During the weight loss process, lunch and breakfast should be consumed until about 70% full, and dinner should be controlled to about 50% full. In fact, being 50% full means feeling not too hungry but not quite full. At this time, you definitely need to control your eating.
3. Pay attention to the order of eating dinner
For those on a weight loss journey, the order of eating is also a crucial step if you want to increase satiety and reduce food intake. Before eating, one could drink a glass of water or have a bowl of soup first, then proceed with the main course. This way, the amount of food consumed will be relatively less. When eating the main course, it is also recommended to follow the sequence of vegetables, meat, eggs, and carbohydrates. This method can effectively suppress fat absorption and is very beneficial for weight loss.
