Biorhythm weight loss
The tedious counting of calories is a common thing for those who monitor their weight. But this does not make much sense, say chronobiologists (translated from the Greek “chronos” — “time”). Exploring the internal clock of the human body, they brought out the so-called chrono-diet, or diet by the clock. Doctors proceed from the hypothesis that the production of digestive enzymes is subject to biorhythms. So, for each type of food there is a “right” time. For example, the body in the morning, afternoon and evening is differently sensitive to carbohydrates. Eat a cookie at the wrong time and the arrow on the scale will swing to the right!
How to eat on a chrono diet
When going on a diet by the hour, it is important to remember that the day is divided into 4 phases:
Stage 1: In the morning hours (from 6.00 to 9.00) enzymes are actively produced that break down fats. Protein foods will also be digested well at this time. On the table: scrambled eggs, a slice of bread with butter, toast with a piece of meat.

Stage 3: For an afternoon snack, you can afford something sweet! From 16.00 to 18.00 insulin production is maximized. Fruit salad and some chocolate — what you need for a diet by the hour!
Phase 4: After 18.00 carbohydrate metabolism is declining. This is due to a decrease in the activity of the pancreas, as well as the fact that the liver begins to inhibit insulin metabolism. Decreased production of digestive juices. Therefore, dinner should be light — for example, fish or turkey, combined with a green salad.
