Eating after sunset is bad

[hazephase]

If you eat after sunset it is very bad for you did you know that ? yes if you can eat as much as you want before sunset that would be the best thing for you .

This isn't exactly true. Night workers may sleep the entire day through-they have to eat some time. And in certain parts of the world the sun doesn't rise for a month in the winter-long time to go without eating I think.

Also in the Jainism religion, people who follow it strictly, do not eat after the sunset. They have their supper before the sunset and do not even prefer to drink water after that.

I think that the point is if you do not eat or graze all day and night that you are bound to lose some weight and be able to maintain your weight in a good manner.

Many people say eating after sunset gets you fat, not that it is bad for your health, but I believe this is a mith , all my life I have been eating more after sunset than the rest of the day, and I have no problems with it, no weight gain nor loss, I`m pretty healthy at the moment.

This is a old myth, this claim is never been true. metabolism slows down a bit when you sleep but not to the point where it shuts down. And if you consume more than needed even in day time you will still get fat because those excess foods were going to be stored in the liver as glycogen.

That is not necessarily a true statment. I have grown up hearing this, but have discovered that it does not necessarily make that much of a difference. Your metabolism does not completely stop, and it's not going to automatically add on weight.

Well I don't know about it but I am sure it is not 100% true but I agree that this types of foods are taken by Jains in India. I always eat after Sunset and have no problem with it.
