I answer. This is an old story. Several years ago, some scientists first tested it on mice, and then invited the readers of the article to participate in the study. It was necessary to eat the entire daily ration in 10 hours, and then eat nothing for 14 hours.
In the case of mice, it was possible to fight off an abnormally high appetite and prevent obesity. People seem to benefit from this regime too.
We still haven't figured out why people who "don't eat after six" manage to lose weight and slightly improve their metabolism.
Maybe they do not have time to eat up their kilograms in 10 hours, maybe their insulin sensitivity is restored during a 14-hour rest, but the fact is.
With this regimen, it is easier to lose weight, at the same time, blood sugar and cholesterol levels improve, and subsequently it is more difficult to get obesity with all sorts of complications of excess weight.
Rumor has it that such a regimen may have some anti-inflammatory effects that will be beneficial to health in the long term.
Harm
Now it's the other way around. I have never heard a clear explanation of the harm of such a diet. Well, that is, it is clear that all ulcers can get sick from a long period of fasting.
I have my own observations in this matter. When there were many students at the reception, they often complained of nausea in the morning. Some of them were examined for a sick stomach, but usually nothing was found.
After questioning, it turned out that usually these guys did not eat "after six." It was logical to expect that the next morning they would be brutally hungry. Young ones. But for some reason they vomited, and the compote did not pour into their mouths.
Well, at that time I did an ultrasound of the gallbladder to students in the morning before and after breakfast. The guys were getting such a good fat breakfast with butter, cheese, scrambled eggs and all sorts of things.
Before such a breakfast, their gallbladder was full of bile, and after breakfast it turned out to be completely empty.
But those morning sickness on an empty stomach had no bile in the bladder. I got the idea that this bile is poured out from them on an empty stomach, gets into the stomach and provokes nausea.
The fact is that the gallbladder fills in 8-10 hours. But if you take a long break between meals, then the gallbladder may not want to sit for a long time, puffed up with bile. He throws it out on an empty stomach and provokes nausea.
It turned out that if you offered those nausea people to make themselves even a tiny second dinner with a little fat (like a glass of kefir 2 hours before bedtime), then in the morning there is no nausea, and the bubble is filled before breakfast bile. Everything is elementary.
Briefly speaking
It looks like taking a 2:00 pm break between dinner and breakfast can be beneficial for your health.
Chances are it won't work for you, and you will have nausea in the morning.
If you have a duodenal ulcer, the ulcer will not like this regimen either.
