Actually, the concept sounds way too good to be true. No sports, no effort, just rest and sleep and still tumble the pounds. At least that's what the title of Dr. Diet's book promises. Detlef Pape and colleagues.
That's not true. According to the sleep diet "Slender asleep", one may eat quite a lot and, above all, delicious food, it only has to be done intelligently. That is, one eats only what activates the cells of the body and thus stimulates the lipid metabolism.
Insulin is a hormone that controls not only the fat storage itself, but also the conversion of sugar (glucose) into fat.
You have to imagine it like this: After eating, nutrients (sugar, protein, fat) can only enter the body cells with the help of insulin, where they are burned for energy or used as building blocks. The hormone acts, so to speak, as a key - which is why it is also called the key hormone - that opens the cells.
The problem is, once the cells have taken in enough nutrients, they shut the door behind them, leaving insulin with no other option than to dispose of excess protein, fat and sugar into the adipose tissue - where the fatteners are then stuck.
The result is known: fat pads, lifebuoys and bacon rolls. And the more insulin in the body, the more fat it can create. Logical.
Successfully lose weight with slender sleep?
So if we want to lose weight successfully, we have to make sure that we eat fewer foods that result in a significant amount of insulin, ie all high-sugar products such as spaghetti or even light bread (cereals are very high in glucose).
Even more careful, we have to be with the combination of such ingredients with protein-containing foods, because that doubles (!) The insulin secretion even. Food mixtures such as cheese and sausage sandwiches or pizza and hamburgers are therefore absolutely taboo.
It follows: When eating in any case avoid the fattening duos.
And if you then enrich the whole program with a little sport - without probably no diet comes out - then the dream result and a super figure should be the result.
Well, not quite, you should sleep too, because when we lie comfortably in the springs and sweet dreams, the body burns fat.
That happens in sleep
According to Schlank, in the dream phase you lose weight during your sleep, because at night, the growth hormone becomes active, which takes care of the regeneration and repair of the body and relies on the unpleasant fat reserves.On favorable conditions we can sleep asleep 50 to 100 grams of fat per Night burn, which is about the weight of a medium-sized potato.
Basic rules of nutrition in case of slimming in sleep
This works only if you eat during the day according to some basic rules. These include: In the morning and at noon, you can take as many carbohydrates (starch and sugar) as you like, because at this time of day, the body can optimally utilize them and convert them into energy.
In the evening meat, fish & Co. are on the table, but also dairy products such as cheese and cottage cheese are now allowed. Because with protein-containing products, the fat burning is only properly cranked.
If you then go to bed early, then you can sleep well.
The slim-in-sleep principle was developed by Dr. Ing. Detlef Pape, specialist in internal medicine, as well as four other authors, including a sports scientist and a long-term jogger. Their common diet concept was re-launched in book form in 2007.
