Celebrity nutritionist names foods that should not be eaten after 3 p.m.

Healthy food is the best way to a perfect figure. Even regular exercise won't give you the desired result if you don't pay attention to what's on your plate. Celebrity nutritionist Natalia Samoilenko advises you to try a five-course meal plan, in which you divide your day by a conventional line called the equator.

It always starts at 3 p.m., the expert told the women's magazine ELLE. The fact is that in the afternoon, our metabolic rate slows down.

The "equator" does not depend on the order of the day, wake-up time, and other nuances. Starting from 3 p,m,, the metabolism of carbohydrates weakens, so all foods containing this nutrient should be excluded from lunch.

What not to eat after 3 p.m.

1. Cereals, rice, pasta.

2. Bread and other bakery products.

3. Sweets, chocolate, confectionery, fruits, dried fruits, honey, jam.

4. Foods that increase insulin like milk, sweet dairy products, and red meat.

5. Starchy vegetables like potatoes, beets, and carrots.

You will notice the first changes in the first few days as puffiness will disappear from your face and body. This is because the above foods retain fluid in the body. In addition, at 3 p.m., we get extra energy from carbohydrates. If it hasn't been used up by the end of the day, where has it gone? That's right, it was stored on the sides in the form of unwanted fat.

"Foods that increase insulin block the production of somatotropin, a growth hormone that directly affects fat burning processes," Natalia emphasized.

What you can eat after 3 p.m.

1. Fish.

2. Seafood.

3. Chicken.

4. Seeds and nuts.

5. Vegetables (not starchy).

6. Vegetable oils.
