What I eat in the evening to get a good night's sleep and not feel heavy



In the evening, I don’t go on hunger strikes and I don’t try to “eat minimally.” I eat so that I can fall asleep easily, without overload, but with a feeling of warmth and satiety .

what I take into account:

– No sugar or caffeine– Less coarse fiber (cabbage, legumes – I leave it for lunch)– Soft fats and proteins that don’t overload the gastrointestinal tract– Light heat: warm food, warm water– Minimum spices and acids

Examples of evening meals that I prepare for myself:

1. Warm buckwheat with vegetables and egg

– boiled buckwheat– stewed carrots with zucchini– 1 egg– a little ghee or olive oil– greens (dill, parsley)

➡ This dish is filling, but doesn’t leave you feeling heavy.

2. Vegetable cream soup with a spoonful of butter

– broccoli, zucchini, a little potato– boiled in water– at the end – a little olive oil and turmeric– on top – a spoonful of Greek yogurt (optional)

➡ Light, warming and non-irritating to the stomach.

3. Stewed pumpkin with quinoa and spices

– pumpkin stewed with cinnamon, a pinch of salt and butter– quinoa (or basmati rice)– you can add some pine nuts

➡ The perfect dinner for cold weather - relaxing and not overwhelming.

4. Fermented foods (very moderately)

– sauerkraut (1 tbsp)– yogurt without sugar– water with lemon or ginger– or just warm chamomile infusion

What I try not to eat for dinner:

- bread with yeast - sausages, semi-finished meat products - grapes, bananas and dried fruits (often allowed to ferment in the evening) - alcohol, chocolate, store-bought sauces

🕯 Result:

Evening nutrition is not about “not eating after six.” It’s about respecting the body as it finishes its day and prepares to recover.
