Have you ever wondered why some people eat at night and stay slim, while others gain weight even if they eat salad for dinner?
It turns out that it's all about one simple product that kickstarts your metabolism while you sleep. It's not about pills or detox teas, but about affordable food that's available in every store.
If you add it to your diet an hour before bed, within a week you will notice how your sides melt and your morning begins with a surge of energy.
The main thing is not to confuse it with similar products, which, on the contrary, slow down the metabolism. By the way, this same ingredient reduces cravings for sweets and regulates sugar levels.
Sounds like science fiction? Then try it and see for yourself.
Now let's reveal the secret: this magical product is regular cottage cheese. Yes, the same one that many people avoid because of the myth about "heaviness" before bed.
In fact, cottage cheese contains casein, a slow protein that is digested over 6–8 hours, nourishing muscles and speeding up metabolism even while you sleep.
But it is important to choose the right option: low-fat cottage cheese is not suitable, since without fat the body will not absorb calcium and vitamins.
Ideally, 5% fat. Add a pinch of cinnamon or a spoonful of berries to enhance the fat-burning effect. Cinnamon lowers glucose levels, and berries are rich in antioxidants that fight inflammation.
Why does it work? At night, your body goes into recovery mode: regenerating cells, removing toxins, and burning fat if it has enough “fuel.”
Hungry sleep, on the contrary, provokes stress - the body accumulates resources, slowing down metabolism. Cottage cheese gives enough energy without overloading the gastrointestinal tract.
But there is a nuance: the portion should not be more than 150 grams, otherwise instead of losing weight you will get a heaviness in the stomach.
What about other foods? For example, is it good or bad to eat a banana or nuts before bed? Bananas are rich in magnesium, which relaxes you, but they are high in sugar, which can cause an insulin spike.
A handful of almonds (no more than 10 pieces) is acceptable, as they contain healthy fats and vitamin E.
But cottage cheese is the champion in the combination of protein and minimal calorie content.
And one more life hack: if you replace late-night snacks with chips or chocolate with cottage cheese, in a month you can lose up to 3-4 kg without dieting.
The main thing is not to add sugar or jam. Is it tasty? Maybe not for everyone, but the result is worth it. Try it for at least three days - and you will stop waking up hungry or tired.
