Many diets, in addition to limiting the calorie content of the diet, imply a special diet - the last time you are allowed to eat no later than 2-3, or even 4-5 hours before bedtime. But it is precisely this point for many that is the most difficult - because at night the food becomes much tastier.
Why food tastes better in the fridge at night
According to a number of psychologists, many people are now forced to live at a too fast pace - they have to move quickly, perceive and process information, monitor changes in the world around them, etc. And there are many who have to "on the run" during the day, trying to "kill the worm" and carve out some more time for rest or communication with colleagues. Under these conditions, it can be quite difficult to enjoy the taste and aroma of food.
Quite often, food in the refrigerator becomes more delicious for those who are forced to eat almost “on the job” during the day - when a sandwich on the run and a cup of coffee make up a traditional snack.
And only in the evening, or rather at night, when a person finally comes home and can relax, does he feel real hunger. Things are completed, you can take time for yourself … Unfortunately, not everyone, after a hard day filled with anxiety and stress, is ready to do relaxing gymnastics or yoga to relieve tension. Much more affordable is the refrigerator, which becomes magnetically attractive by nightfall.
It is impossible not to mention the so-called habit of "seizing stress", when a night raid on the refrigerator becomes a proven means of relieving all anxiety. Psychologists are sounding the alarm: this stereotype of behavior is becoming more common, while it has a detrimental effect on health. Much more effective is the following method: try to determine the cause of anxiety (worry, uncertainty, fear, etc.) in order to deal with the "source" of the problem. If you cannot do this on your own, you can seek help from a psychologist.
How to resist temptations
The temptation to spend a cozy evening on the couch after a busy day is very great, especially if you take something not very healthy, but tasty from the refrigerator, and watch, for example, a good movie. However, in the morning, you may find that your favorite clothes have become a little cramped, and after an extra piece of cake yesterday, you don't want to have breakfast today. After a while, other troubles may appear, for example, the first signs of gastritis. According to nutritionists, it is better not to wait for these "bells", but to try to tidy up the diet right now.
For many people, according to scientists, food is the most affordable means of achieving satisfaction. And the night is the very time when nothing distracts from receiving pleasure, so simple and close.
Psychologists recommend hanging a photo of a model or a slender celebrity in a bikini on the refrigerator - and then, at the very first attempt to check the refrigerator for especially tasty products, the mind can win. And in the morning, when your stomach has rested overnight, you can start the day right - with a hearty and high-calorie breakfast. After all, as you know, food eaten at night will not add health, especially if it is fast food, sweets and other not the most healthy products.
