Evening snacks are important, but often overlooked, according to the expert.
Why are afternoon snacks important?
Late night snacks are the bridge between lunch and dinner. It can help restrict those hunger pangs, help energize the body, reduce the risk of overeating, and more. According to Diwekar, who has over 1.6 million followers on Instagram, “a sexy nashta is important.”
“From 4 to 6 in the afternoon is crucial for our well-being, it is the time when cortisol naturally drops, but only if you are smart. If you are hypoglycemic (not eating at this time), then cortisol misbehaves and makes you hungry, restless, and lack of sleep.

It is important to keep track of what we eat, how much we eat. Nutrient ratio can help us determine our fitness regimens. Diwekar also encourages home-cooked meals instead of cloud cooking. In one of his recent posts he talked about the signs of poor diet.
- You have to eat in a cloud kitchen and not in a home kitchen. All the food you eat only has English names and not local or vernacular names.
- It requires you to have a lot of supplements: pills and powders for fats, fiber, proteins, etc.
- Mealtime becomes a time of stress and agony. You can’t enjoy a meal anymore.
- You get injured regularly, there is a change in the pattern of your period and bleeding.
- You spend nights fighting off cravings and spend time awake trying to sleep.
