Midnight Snack MELTS Fat?! (DELICIOUS)
Chances are your mainstream doc has told you that late-night snacks will make you fat.
But I’m to tell you this isn’t always true.
Because a new study shows that WHAT you eat for your midnight snack makes a big difference when it comes to your waistline.
In fact, there’s one delicious, creamy food that boosts your metabolism… encourages muscle recovery… and doesn’t add to your waistline.
It’s the perfect late-night snack… and it could be in your fridge right now.
I’m talking about cottage cheese.
Getting hungry right before bed happens to us all.
You’ve probably heard that eating right before bed adds pounds to your waistline. And this is true (most of the time).
You add fat when you snack before you sleep because you burn so few calories when you lay down in bed all night.
This is especially true when you eat something that spikes your blood sugar. Your body has to do something with all that extra energy – so it stores it as fat.
But if you choose your late-night snack carefully, it can actually help you lose weight.
Researchers, publishing their work in the British Journal of Nutrition, found that eating cottage cheese 30-60 minutes before going to sleep:
- Increases your metabolism
- Improves muscle recovery
Helps maintain your body weight
- Had many additional health benefits
Cottage cheese works is because it is a good mixture of protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
Protein and fat are especially important for weight control because they help you to feel full and keep your blood sugar lower.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon and nuts to your cottage cheese and you have a tasty, satisfying snack to get you through the night.
If cottage cheese is not your thing, then any high protein snack will work (a handful of nuts work for some people). You can even use a low-sugar protein shake.
