In our daily life, the topic of dinner is always boiling, especially when friends get together, everyone always likes to talk about "I'm losing weight now", "I don't eat dinner, the effect is particularly good" and other topics, have you ever noticed, when hearing these remarks, we often can't help but think, can you really lose weight without dinner? Some people think it's a well-founded approach, while others wonder if it's not that simple
Skipping dinner seems to have become a shortcut for many people to pursue a slim body, today we are going to talk about the importance of dinner, and why skipping dinner may actually be a wrong choice, we live in this fast-paced era, busy and stressful at work, many people often ignore the essential diet of dinner in order to "lose weight", but is this really the case?
The picture comes from the Internet
Let's start with a simple question: what does dinner do to the body? Speaking of which, I might as well make an analogy, imagine that your body is like a car, you have to run a lot of roads during the day, and when you come back at night, of course, you need to replenish energy to continue to "drive", that is, dinner is an important time for our body to replenish energy, and if you don't eat, it's like a car without oil, and it will definitely stop, this reason is actually very simple, but many people choose not to eat in order to lose weight
Now scientific research tells us that the importance of dinner is far more than filling the stomach, in fact, dinner and the body's metabolism, sleep, hormone secretion are closely related, if you choose not to eat dinner, the body may reduce the metabolic rate due to lack of energy, in the long run, not only does not help to lose weight, but is more likely to lead to weight gain, which is like a double-edged sword - dieters are also eating their own body's "old book", very not cost-effective
Next, let's talk about the metabolic laws of the human body, many people may not know that dinner has a vital impact on the metabolism of the human body, at night, the human body will begin to prepare for rest, 10 o'clock in the evening to the early morning of this period of time is our body self-repair, hormone secretion is the most active time, if you do not eat at this time, the body lacks the necessary nutrients, it is easy to affect metabolism, and even appear at night listless, the phenomenon of lack of energy during the day

When it comes to metabolism, some friends may have questions, how much does dinner affect metabolism? This has to mention a key word - growth hormone, growth hormone is a very important hormone in our body, it plays an important role in helping us grow, repair and maintain health, when you skip dinner, the secretion of growth hormone will be hit, so that the body's self-repair ability will also decline, in short, skipping dinner will eventually lead to you "in vain", and there may be many health problems, therefore, healthy eating, reasonable dinner arrangement is particularly important
Let's talk about the worrisome hormone, people have great mood swings at night, at this time, if the physiological energy needs are not satisfied, it is easy to produce negative hormones, cortisol will come quietly when you confidently decide not to eat dinner, cortisol is a stress hormone, when the body lacks energy, the level of cortisol will rise, which may cause you to increase your appetite, overeating, obviously want to lose weight, but the result is easier to "lose more and more fat", how can such a large circle make people stand it?
You must have heard the saying "hungry can lose weight", but in fact, this is an idea that can easily lead to the opposite effect, we said that the human body will activate the "hunger mode" when experiencing hunger, in this mode, the body's metabolism will become slow, and in order to protect itself, the body will also start to store fat, once you realize this problem, and finally decide to eat something, you may not be able to control your appetite, and you can't wait to destroy a whole table of food, If you don't have a good dinner for an hour, when will life get back on track?
