JAKARTA - A diet for sweet food lovers can present its own challenges. The desire to consume sweet foods cannot be done easily, because it can have an impact on the weight loss process.
However, you don't really need to worry too much because eating sweet foods while dieting can still be done, by knowing the ideal time. In addition to the portion that is being watched, when the best time to eat sweet foods is also important to consider so as not to ruin the diet.
Nutritionist, Maya Feller, said that the consumption of sweet foods can be done during the day and night. However, for consumption at night it is recommended not to be too late at night.
"Ideally, sweet foods can be consumed between lunch and dinner, and preferably not too late at night because the body needs a metabolic process to process sugar," said Feller, quoted from Huffpost, Monday, April 6, 2021.
Another best time is to consume sweet foods after the main meal with balanced nutrition intake. This way can help the body process sugar more efficiently, because it is combined with other nutrients.
When it's daytime to the afternoon, the body also tends to be more active. The activities carried out can help the metabolic process run more optimally, including in processing sugar that enters the body.
"You tend to be more active during the day, so your body has more time to process the sugar," he said.
Meanwhile, the time that is very not recommended for consuming sweet foods is just before going to bed. When the body doesn't move much, then the metabolic process also becomes less optimal.
This causes blood sugar levels to rise and in the long run has the potential to trigger various health problems. The habit of consuming sweet foods before going to bed can also interfere with sleep quality, increasing the risk of insulin resistance.
"If after eating sweets you immediately lie down without activity, the body does not get the help it needs for insulin to work optimally," concluded Feller.
