Eating carbohydrates (a basic component of human food, which provides energy for the body), especially refined sugar and highly processed carbohydrates, stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin. The insulin response activates hunger hormones in the gut.
Therefore, consuming sugar after lunch can lead to late-night cravings. Additionally, eating too much too close to bedtime can lead to weight gain. Over time, your body can develop diabetes as your pancreas becomes overworked in response to the constant intake of sugar, refined and processed carbohydrates.
Conversely, eating carbohydrates in the morning can help maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
You may also feel less hungry if you eat mostly protein and fiber-rich foods. You may find that you don't crave high-carb foods when you eat less, especially if you burn those carbohydrates throughout the day through daily living and exercise.
With a no-carb diet after lunch, you eat carbs in the morning, focusing on complex carbs like whole grains. Also, drink water before every meal, and add a source of protein to every meal. Stay away from fried foods and fast foods. Add berries and apples to your daily meals.
