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.
