What is it?
Slim in the sleep or the insulin separating food is a Di?t, which was developed by the internalist and nourishing advisor, nowadays already Dr. med. Detlef Pape. In the center of the controversial nourishing plan not only which one eats, but also at which time of day one is to consume which kind of food. By this change, more fat should be burned by the body at night, because the energy is mainly taken from the fat cells, hence the name.
Procedure of the diet
The hormone insulin is the focus of the diet. It is produced by the pancreas and allows the cells to absorb nutrients from the blood, thus lowering the blood sugar level. Insulin also causes the body to store fat and it inhibits fat burning.
Especially after carbohydrate-rich meals, insulin is secreted more often. With the slim-in-sleep diet, the insulin level should be better controlled in order to lose weight. In the course of the day, the diet includes 3 meals, between which one should take a break of 5 hours each.
In the meantime, no calories should be consumed, so you are limited to drinking water, unsweetened tea or coffee. Breakfast should consist mainly of carbohydrates, such as rolls, jam and juice. Animal protein, e.g. sausage or yogurt, are taboo here, however.
For lunch, carbohydrates as well as animal proteins in a mixed diet are allowed, e.g. rice, noodles or potatoes in combination with meat and vegetables. In the evening, however, no carbohydrates may be eaten, preferably meat or fish with vegetables and yogurt. The theory behind this is that you therefore have a low insulin level in the evening and at night and the body has to rely on the fat cells to generate enough energy. This leads to weight reduction.
Side Effects/Risks of Diet
Basically, there are no side effects or risks to fear for healthy people. The slim-in-sleep diet is a varied and wholesome diet. There is no danger of malnutrition.
Diabetics may have high insulin levels after breakfast, as a large amount of carbohydrates should be consumed and these increase the insulin level particularly strongly. People with kidney disease must also be careful, as the overall diet is very rich in protein. Between meals, long breaks must be observed, which can quickly lead to ravenous appetite attacks. However, there are no exceptions, so some people find it difficult to implement this.
