Does this diet really work?
From a scientific point of view, there are some doubts about Pape’s slim-in-sleep concept. The German Society for Nutrition recommends eating 5 smaller meals a day. In contrast to it the 3 large meals of the slim in sleep Dit stand.
It is true that insulin inhibits the breakdown of fat, but the exact biochemical processes are not yet fully known and documented. In addition, the diet is divided into different metabolic types. However, the criteria for this are not clearly defined.
A further point of criticism is that the daily amount of calories supplied to the body does not play a role in the slim-in-sleep diet. However, it has been proven that the daily energy balance is a central component in weight reduction. It is also questionable whether the diet is suitable for everyone, as it must be strictly followed. One must not make any exceptions and must stick to the 5 hours between meals, which can mean some preparation and additional stress in everyday working life.
