IS it true that you cant eat after 5? and that your body shuts down after 5??

Answer 1

not at all...

naturally insulin sensitivity decreases at night so the intake of carbohydrates should be severely limited by those who do not have lower than average levels of body fat.

food selections should be changed for most as the day progresses. the majority of the carbohydrates should be consumed in the am and early afternoon tapering the carb intake down as the day progresses and the level of activity decreases. at night meals should consist of mainly proteins, healthy fats and veggies.

not eating after 5-6 pm is complete rubbish. all the person is doing is extended the length of the catabolic state that the body is in. this is not optimum for fat loss or for increasing the amount of muscle. the body needs nutrition every 3-4 hours for optimum performance.

Answer 2

No, your body never "shuts down".
Your metabolism does slow down later in the night though so that's why eating late isnt reccomended.
5pm is ridiculous though, that's not true.
In most other countries around the world, people eat dinner around 3pm and then have supper at about 7 or 8. That's really the healthiest way to eat.
That's why there is a much higher obesity rate in the USA than in any other country.
So try to eat your larger meals during the day and then a lighter meal for supper.
But your body does not "shut down", especially not at 5pm.
Try to never eat past 9pm. That is a much better rule.

Answer 3

Your body doesn't shut down after five but I think I know what you're referring to. The metabolism of most people slows down as the day progresses. And evening time is the time when people come home, eat and relax. You're not supposed to eat most of your calories in the evening or a heavy meal because you won't burn it off. It also aids in digestion when people move a bit. Most people are not going to feel like going out for a job in the evening after working all day. So, experts say to eat a large breakfast, a modest lunch and a light dinner, due to people slowing down as the day goes on. But if you eat a bowl of jello at 8:00 at night, no harm done. But a heavy, thick slab of french bread and a baked potato? No way, it will sit like a lump while you're reclining in your lazyboy. Yes, it will still get digested, nothing but a blockage will stop that natural process but it will just take longer so more calories will get extracted! Plus, if you're too full at night, it's hard to sleep well.

Answer 4

Your body's metabolism is most active when you are in contact with sunlight. So, in theory, your body better processes what you eat during daylight hours. I wouldn't recommend eating anything heavy up to 4 hours before you are going to go to bed. Eat dinner around 5 or 6. If you get hungry after that, drink a big glass of skim milk. That should help you!

Answer 5

if your body shut down after 5 you would not be breathing huh lol a lot of nonsense you can eat when you like and your body only shuts down when you die.

Answer 6

no. but if you go to bed at 6 a lot of the food may be stored as fat. you have to be active and use the nutrition you have just consumed. your least meal (like 7 or 8 at night) should probably be carb free or low in carbs bc that is stored as fat the quickest if its not used.

Answer 7

I think that is totally rubbish. Otherwise how can you have your dinner! or if you eat at night in a restaurant. I know people who Eat at like 9pm and have 6 packs and are slim etc.

Answer 8

no but most people are tierd and their body is getting ready for sleep but that also happens if you dont get enough sleep so no its just being tierd and if you eat you have more energy to stay up and prevent your body to shut down

Answer 9

Unless you go into some kind of hibernation at five, your body definitely does NOT shut down! :-)

Answer 10

Not necessarily. Different people have different cycles.
