| Meat in Summer is Not a Good Idea |
Digesting in summer, when it's very hot, is harder. I think you have realized also that eating consistent food makes you feel more bloated. Your stomach can hurt, you can have problems when digesting food, and so on.
So if you can eliminate meat and chicken and replace it with easier versions (like fish or soya meat) then do it without thinking twice.
According to studies, meat, on its own, can take even more than four hours to digest. If it's hot and and you have already added some bread or sugar on top of it, then that food will sit in your stomach and fermentate for hours. Fermentation ultimately means sugar in your blood, which means that it is harder to lose weight. You don't want to keep food in your stomach, waiting in line for the stomach to finish its work with the meat.
Summer is a season to cleanse your body. So do it. It also means helping you lose weight - just don't rush to the candy store for sweets to replace the meat!Labels: eating_habits, weight |
