Not all evening snacks are equally useful, just as not all are harmful. There are foods that can be eaten before bedtime, without risking to gain extra pounds. But as he writes Reader's Digest, one of them really contributes to weight gain, according to scientists. And these are sweet flakes.
Of course, a bowl of sweet flakes with milk or juice is guaranteed to quench both the evening hunger and rumbling in the stomach, but most commercial brands offering such a product saturate the flakes with excess sugar and corn syrup. Just a few spoonfuls of cereal can dramatically increase the level of glucose in your blood, after which it will inevitably fall. Not only does it cause night anxiety and disrupt your sleep, so you also wake up hungry, forcing you to eat more harmful food for breakfast. And when all this becomes a habit (by the way, quickly enough!), You risk starting to add kilograms systematically.
But not all cereals are the same. And if you can not do without the evening carbohydrates, carefully read the labels. It is better to cook porridge from flakes or cereals without additives, not containing sugar, syrup and their substitutes (fructose, sucrose). In any case, the portion should be small, and it is undesirable to eat it later than 8 in the evening.
A good choice would be yogurt with berries, and if you want sweet, add a teaspoon of natural honey. This dinner will help you burn fat in your sleep, unlike sweet and thick porridge.
