Chrono menu for a week - the first principle of chrononutrition ( chrono nutrition ) was designed by dr. Alain Delabaut, a French nutritionist, in the eighties of the twentieth century, and he is based on respecting the laws of the natural rhythms of the secretion of hormones and enzymes in our body. Some enzymes are secreted more in the morning, some in the afternoon, others in the evening, which means that certain foods are spontaneously easily digested at certain times of the day, so they should be eaten then.

Basic meals of the chrono diet:

Chrono menu - breakfast - you should have meat and bread every day for breakfast, and dairy 3-4 times a week, whole eggs - 8 pieces a week, egg whites unlimited. Dairy includes only sour milk (it is best to prepare it yourself, because it is not desirable that it contains sugar, starch and various additives), young cheese and young mozzarella. Kefir can also be used, but yours, homemade. You should not consume anything other than milk. Bread and milk is consumed only for breakfast.

Chrono menu - lunch it can be very nice and varied, if you let your imagination run wild and learn to combine foods. It is preferable to have some stronger red meat, raw or cooked vegetables and a salad in one meal, a must. Also, one should drink tea or a glass of water (not cold from the refrigerator) 1/2 hour before and after lunch. Eat as much lunch as you think will last you until dinner. It is not good at all to be hungry between meals, because then the body starts to use up muscles and stores fat.

Chrono menu - dinner is simple and light, it could literally be just for the sake of order, but you can eat the amount you need to satisfy your hunger. Keep it as simple as possible, one light protein and some green, yellow or white vegetables. It can be egg whites, white meat, fish... Don't eat anything from red vegetables for dinner, because red vegetables have a higher GI (glycemic index). The best choice is when you take one protein and one vegetable. Do not go to sleep immediately after dinner, let at least 1,5 hours pass.
