Dietician’s 3 ‘danger’ times slimmers shouldn’t eat during – weight gain likely if they do

Diets can be difficult to navigate, especially since there is so much information about weight loss available on the internet. So when it comes to losing weight, it’s best to listen to the experts. A leading Australian dietitian, Susie Burrell, has shared what times of day dieters should not eat, saving them up to 750 calories.

According to Susie, dieters who eat during specific time periods consume up to 750 more calories per day than those who don’t.

Susie calls these time frames “danger” times, and there are three of them,

It’s 11:01 a.m., 3:14 p.m. and 9:31 p.m., according to a UK supplement company’s commission of inquiry.

One study showed that those who ate during these times consumed hundreds of calories more than those who didn’t.

Susie explained that these “dangerous” times could be the times of day when people tend to snack more and therefore consume more calories.

These times are likely to be when people’s food cravings start to kick in.

Speaking to 7News, Susie said: “Eating too few calories during the first half of the day not only triggers hunger and cravings late in the morning, it can also leave you vulnerable to overeating later in the day.”

That’s why eating a big, balanced breakfast can lead to weight loss, as it prevents slimmers from being hungry in the morning and even early afternoon.

It is also worth having a healthy snack at 10:30, such as yogurt or a piece of fruit, which could help prevent hunger pangs.

Susie recommended other healthy snacks, such as pecan and vegetable bars with hummus.

She said: “Unfortunately, the types of foods we associate with snacking at this time of day again tend to be sweet, candy-style foods – biscuits, chocolates and snack bars – which leave us feeling under-satisfied and more likely to snack until dinner time.”

However, dark chocolate or just a cookie is acceptable to snack on if slimmers have a craving for something sweet.

He told Express.co.uk: “One of the easiest ways to dispel the myth that eating before bed makes you fat is to look at the research on intermittent fasting.

“Basically, people save most of their calories before they go to bed, and it’s consistently found that as long as you’re in a calorie deficit, you’ll lose weight.

“Ultimately, a calorie is a calorie at 8 a.m. and at 8 p.m.

“It doesn’t matter what time you’re eating, it matters how much you’re eating.”
