Dinner Above 7 O'clock Doesn't Make You Fat, This Is The Fact According To Doctor Tirta

JAKARTA - There are still many people who believe dinner above 7 pm can make the body fat. This statement is familiar. This also makes most people reluctant to eat at night, for fear of gaining weight.

Health influencer, doctor Tirta immediately denied the assumption that dinner made a weight gain. According to him, eating over 7 pm and making fat is just a myth.

"Okay, so dinner at 6.59 doesn't make you fat? Who makes a question? Eh, you ask, does it mean I don't eat at 6.57? That's why what I say is a myth like this," said Doctor Tirta, which was uploaded on the Volix Media YouTube channel.

Doctor Tirta explained that someone is fat and not from eating hours. Rather, the diet in the person's daily life. The owner's full name Tirta Mandira Hudhi also mentioned that his videographer had increased to a weight of 100 kilograms.

Small or not, it's a one-day composition. If you don't eat at 7 p.m. but from 6 p.m. to 6 am you eat 9 times and you don't do anything, you're fat," he said.

"My videographer ate 9 times first, weighing up to 100 kilos more. Now he only eats 2 times, increasing the road by 7,000 steps per day, down 17 kilos in 3 months. So everything can change," he added.

Doctor Tirta said the weight gain based on the number of calories that came in was compared to the activities carried out in one day. According to him, the dinner did not immediately make the person gain weight.

"So basically eating at night does not immediately make you fat. Fat or not is one day in and out how much," he added.

"If the excess (food enters) will be stockpiled in fat under the skin. But if for example that night it turns out that your physical activity is really big, you have dinner, it's okay," he added.

However, Doctor Tirta warned that dinner had a bad impact, namely the risk of insulin. If you eat food frequently above 7 p.m., it can increase the risk of increasing blood sugar.

"Only dinner at night increases insulin resistance, aka insulin may not be able to regulate blood sugar maximally before dinner," he added.

"So if you do it then there is the potential for an increase in blood sugar. But that doesn't mean you have dinner and you don't get fat right away. But to habits in that one day." he added.
