Take an Empty Stomach to Bed

Danger, evening snacks will make you fat.

When you fall asleep at night your metabolism will slow to its lowest possible rate. If you had an evening snack and there’s food in your gut, digestion is going to continue throughout the night. Energy will be released and those calories need to go somewhere. Because you are burning almost nothing, the excess energy is going to be stored as fat.

On the other hand, if your last meal was at 6 or seven o’clock, and your stomach was empty when you went to bed, there will be no extra energy coming into the system. But you are going to burn calories to live until the sun comes up. Your body will get the energy it needs by burning your fat stores.

Every night of your life, you are either going to make fat or burn fat. My suggestion is go to bed with an empty stomach and spend the night burning fat.
