Being hungry has a negative effect on learning and working and can even cause depression, researchers say. Many people still think that going to bed hungry is a good idea because it can help them lose weight. But science has tried differently and even noticed more side effects from hunger.
1. You can lose muscle mass.
For those who are trying to gain muscle mass, the hungry is a bad choice, according to specialists. You can skip dinner without eating, but you need nutrients to turn protein into muscle.
2. You can gain weight.
Yes, it can have the opposite effect. Studies that promote weight loss by not eating before bed are controversial. So the downside may be because you skip your meal and then overdo it with food because youâ??re so hungry. In other words, food becomes twice as attractive and you suddenly risk gaining weight.
The statement that our metabolism is slow at night is debatable and there is no evidence to support it. However, this does not mean that you should eat a large meal just before bedtime. Eating 2-3 hours before bed is good, as long as it is a healthy meal.
3. You can sleep worse.
When you go to bed without eating, your stomach is buzzing and the only thought you have is if you can stand it until morning. This condition requires much more time to sleep, so if you want to sleep well, just donâ??t starve to death, according to specialists. If you feel hungry, at least eat a cucumber and drink some water, instead of alcoholic beverages.
4. You may lose your energy.
If you donâ??t eat, you donâ??t have â??fuelâ? to keep you active during the day. This is an old rule. It is very important to feel good in the morning because we need to go to work and our brain needs to be active. Researchers have found that many side effects of hunger can be harmful, such as fatigue and depression. If we decide to stay hungry the night before and wake up with a loss of energy and bad mood, we will face negative effects at work.
