The perfect break between dinner and breakfast: nutritionists comment

The state of health of each person largely depends on how healthy his or her diet is and how long the break between dinner and breakfast is.

This was stated in exclusive comments to OBOZREVATEL by nutritionists, whom we asked to explain what the break between the last and first meal should be.

Nutritionist Olha Naboka: At least 12 hours should pass between dinner and breakfast

"There should be at least 12 hours between dinner and breakfast. If a person wants to lose weight, then an interval of 16 hours is allowed, but you need to move to this very smoothly."

Nutritionist Serhii Antoniuk: It is impossible to determine the exact time interval between dinner and breakfast

"The interval between dinner and breakfast is a very individual moment. Some people are hungry as soon as they wake up, while others feel hungry around 10 am. In both cases, this is a physiological norm. It is impossible to determine the exact time interval between dinner and breakfast. Everyone has their own work schedule and their own meal schedule."

Nutritionist Olena Yudina: The more often we eat, the more often we will have insulin releases, and the more of these releases, the faster we will come to diabetes

"There is no ideal interval between dinner and breakfast. Every organism is individual. We need to remember that the more often we eat, the more often we will have insulin release, and the more these releases, the faster we will come to diabetes. There shouldn't be these jumps, everything should be smooth. Such insulin spikes are caused by simple carbohydrates in the form of juices and lemonades. We ate, and 30 minutes later we drank lemonade or juice. For the body, this is already food, because it contains sugar, which means that insulin is released again and blood sugar levels rise."

Nutritionist Liudmyla Honcharova: It all depends on what time a person wakes up

"There is no such time frame. It all depends on what time a person wakes up. For example, I wake up at 5:40. I drink two glasses of water and have breakfast 30 minutes later. Around 6.15-6.30. I have dinner no later than 6.30 pm."
