What are the costs?
With the slim in sleep diet usually no higher costs come to one, since one must buy no special food. You only have to pay attention to which foods you buy and how many carbohydrates they contain. It can lead to higher costs if you buy more meat and fish for the evening, protein-rich meal than before, as these are among the more expensive foods. In general, when you are slim while you sleep, it is not the food that changes, but the period of time during which you eat it.
Where can I find good recipes?
Since one may take carbohydrates as well as protein-rich food with the slim in sleep diet at noon, one does not have to change over for this meal and/or does not need any unusual recipes. The situation is different for breakfast, as you can eat carbohydrates but no animal protein, and for dinner, where only animal protein and no carbohydrates are allowed. There are numerous recipes for this in numerous books.
Depending on the recipe, such a cookbook costs about 13 Euros. For those who do not want to deal with the paper form, the Internet presents many different recipes for slim-in-sleep diet that can be easily recooked. Breakfast is the most substantial meal when you are slim in your sleep.
It is the meal with the most carbohydrates.Especially after a low-carb dinner and fasting during sleep it is important to take in enough carbohydrates in the morning to have enough energy for the day. Since you have to wait 5 hours after breakfast until lunch, you can eat a full meal to prevent ravenous attacks. That’s why you should rely on long-chain carbohydrates from whole-grain products that keep you satiated longer.
Animal protein is taboo here. You should not eat any sausage, cheese, yogurt, butter or milk, as it is assumed that the combination of many carbohydrates and animal protein causes the insulin level to rise particularly sharply. Instead, you should use vegetable products.
So in the morning you either eat a muesli, e.g. with berries, nuts and soy milk, or bread or rolls. If you like a sweet breakfast, you won’t have any changeover problems here, because jam and nut-nougat cream as well as juices are allowed. Any type of bread is allowed, from wholemeal bread to croissant.
Those who prefer a hearty breakfast in the morning are more likely to have difficulties. Since cheese and sausage are taboo, you have to switch to vegetarian spreads. Lunch follows 5 hours after breakfast.
In contrast to the first meal of the day, a mixed diet is on the menu here. One may combine carbohydrates, such as potatoes, rice and pasta with protein foods such as fish, meat and dairy products. Therefore, you do not really have to change your diet for this.
Sweet desserts and coffee are also allowed. Nevertheless, you have to pay attention to the carbohydrates, because depending on your BMI, only a certain amount of carbohydrates may be consumed per day. The situation is similar with fat, where a maximum of 60 g per day is allowed, ideally divided into 20 g per meal.
Salads are recommended as a side dish, as they are low in calories and still make you full. Stews are well suited for lunch, as they contain a lot of vegetables and are very satisfying. Here too, one should eat a full meal, since dinner should not be eaten until 5 hours later.
