British researchers have debunked the myth that eating late dinners negatively affects our figure. They have put together a few simple recommendations worth following if you want to maintain a slim body.

It's not true that you shouldn't eat in the evening. You can. However, eat plenty of vitamins, minerals, and especially fiber, which cleans the intestines. In addition, eat foods that are well absorbed and have lots of calories.

At the top of the list of recommended foods are cabbage and turnip, which are also full of probiotics, so you should eat them at least every 14 days. Equally useful, even irreplaceable, is beetroot. Beetroot helps burn fat; all of these clean the intestines very well, improve circulation and blood health, and contribute to better well-being.

Scientists also recommend that you can eat shrimp, squid, and white fish in the evening, but only 100 grams.

With all this, steamed vegetables fit well, but absolutely no potatoes (you should avoid them by all means).

Also, remember that for dinner you shouldn’t eat foods with a low glycemic index, because you'll have trouble falling asleep. Heavy foods to definitely avoid: tomatoes, beans, onions, milk, nuts, mushrooms, dried fruit ... Heavy food also includes meat and poultry. In addition, rich and fatty dishes inhibit the production of melatonin, without which peaceful sleep is not possible. Be careful when eating these foods—not to eat too much, and especially not to mix them together. In a single meal, eat no more than three of these foods.

In the evening, don’t eat spicy food, as it stimulates your appetite. Also avoid salty dishes, as they retain water.

All this also applies to alcohol and caffeine.
