The best dinner for weight loss (with dessert!)

During the main course, leave the pasta aside and smile at healthier, flavor-rich alternatives”In the evening, we avoid pasta and potatoes and favor legumes such as lentils and chickpeas or brown rice, rich in fiber which quickly satiate and avoid cravings in the evening.“. Red meat after 5 p.m.? To avoid ! The expert recalls: “Prefer small amounts of meat or a small piece of fish or even tofu at dinner.” Perfect for varying recipes. Moreover, concerning the fish, Doctor Dalu specifies that “swordfish, shark and their exciting protein-rich comrades aren’t the best party companions. Prefer small fish, good for your sleep and to avoid nasty contaminants”.

Now comes the long-awaited moment: dessert. Goodbye vanilla cream and rice pudding, hello natural yoghurt or compote! Avoid overly rich sugary treats, which can disrupt your sleep and ruin all-day efforts. Of course, flexibility is key, treat yourself from time to time to avoid frustration. The penultimate food to avoid is amazing because it is… herbal tea ! Indeed, at the last moment, it would give your kidneys too much work and therefore force you to get up in the middle of the night, which would lead to fatigue, which often rhymes with cravings the next day. A last one for the end, yes just a last one, not the whole tablet! A small square of dark chocolate, with its touch of soothing magnesium, is a good choice to end the day gently. And now you know everything to lose weight without depriving yourself!
