As you get older, your body moves naturally and frustrating hormonal changes ensue. During perimenopause, estrogen levels decrease, leading to a peak in appetite and unwanted belly fat. But here is an unexpected touch: eating the dessert first can help you lose weight faster. We spoke with a recorded dietitian who explains how, in the right context, starting your meal with a dessert can support fat loss after 45.
Can eating dessert first support fat loss?
“This concept is rooted in psychological and hormonal factors,” explains Avery Zenkerdietitian recorded with Myhealthteam. “The restriction of foods we appreciate can create a state of mind of scarcity, which often leads to desires, to overeating or to excessive diet later. Giving us permission to eat first can reduce the feeling of deprivation, support satisfaction and lead to more sustainable eating habits. ”
Essentially, the satisfaction of your sweet tooth at the start of a meal can help approach the vicious circle of recovery and over-even. Research shows that intuitive eating practices, which highlight flexibility and permission to benefit from “prohibited foods”, can support better weight regulation and improve emotional eating habits. So, if the flavor of dessert first improves your relationship with food, this can really reduce desires and over -term.
“The consumption of desserts can first increase adhesion to a global constant healthy food model, potentially resulting in a long -term lasting weight loss,” adds Avery. “One of the main reasons why individuals do not maintain the longer -term weight loss is the lack of membership of a healthy food model. Unfortunately, there are a lot of messages to women in this age group telling them that they should eat or look in some way, which contributes to a state of mind. “
Quantity
The order in which you eat certain foods / meals absolutely makes a difference, but the quantity of each is greater.
“Proteins and fibers (and fats to a lesser extent) slow down the absorption of glucose in the blood circulation,” explains Avery. “They lead to a softer peak of blood sugar and insulin. Eating proteins and fibers can help reduce desires, maintain stable energy levels, feel full and satisfy and improve metabolic health over time. “
On the other hand, eating a dessert first can lead to rapid absorption of glucose, which gives a stronger insulin response.
“Main point: eat an adequate amount of protein and fiber as well as moderate part of carbohydrates have more impact on blood sugar than the order of food consumed in a meal,” explains Avery.
