Today, I’m going to tell you that you should eat carbs for breakfast… not. So, a lot of people think that you should have carbohydrates at breakfast because you’re going to burn them all off the whole of the day. Now, this is actually incorrect and it’s probably the opposite. Or in fact, it is true. The opposite is correct.
So, when you eat carbohydrates, your body releases a hormone called Serotonin. This is the feel good hormone, but it also aids with sleep. So, if you think about it, by having carbohydrates in the morning, you’re going to be very sleepy by at least lunchtime, and you’re not going to be as productive or as alert throughout the whole of the day.
So, if you’re going to have carbohydrates, you should actually have them at the last meal of the day, or kind of be around before bedtime because, like I said, they’re going to help you release Serotonin, which is going to aid with your sleep.
ow, if you are trying to lose body fat, you generally don’t need to have too many. It’s best to have it from fibrous vegetables. You’ll get the pinch of carbohydrates that you need from fibrous vegetables. But if you’re going to have them, do have them in the evening before bed and not in the morning.
