How long does the no-eating plateau last? How to eat during the no-eating plateau?

There is a girl around me who successfully lost weight by not eating after noon, but she also exercised while fasting after noon. So how long will the plateau period of not eating after noon last? How should she eat during the plateau period of not eating after noon?

The plateau period is the period of stagnation in weight loss. It is a protective inhibition produced by the body when the body's energy consumption reaches a certain level. It is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs when the body adjusts its metabolism to adapt to the dietary intake rule of not eating after noon. For some people, the plateau period will last for 1-2 weeks, while for others, it may last for one or two months, or even longer.

Two meals a day: eat a good breakfast with balanced nutrition; eat a full lunch with plenty of high-quality protein.

Afternoon fasting: Do not eat solid food 2-3 hours after lunch. You can drink water, slimming tea and skim milk.

Food ratio: Carbohydrate: protein: fat = 4:3:3, of which 3/4 of the carbohydrates are vegetables and fruits, and 1/4 are starchy foods. Protein is mainly plant-based, plant protein: animal protein = 2:1

Is there any scientific basis for not eating after noon to lose weight?

In the past, there was no electricity. The ancients worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. They usually went to bed at the first watch and went out to work at the fifth watch in the morning. Therefore, not eating after noon was very scientific and in line with the work and rest time of the ancients. However, people nowadays will not go to bed before the third watch of the night. If they fast for too long at night, it will cause great harm to the stomach and intestines. Therefore, not eating after noon has become less scientific. However, it is scientific to eat less and eat earlier for dinner. This is not only good for health, but also can avoid fat accumulation and help lose weight. The generally recommended healthy eating ratio is "3:4:3" for morning, noon and evening.

Note: The first watch is from 19:00 to 21:00; the second watch is from 21:00 to 23:00; the third watch is from 23:00 to 1:00 am the next day; the fourth watch is from 1:00 to 3:00; the fifth watch is from 3:00 to 5:00; noon time is from 11:00 to 13:00.

The origin of not eating after noon

Not eating after noon is a precept set by the Buddha for Buddhist monks. The correct term in the Vinaya is "not eating at inappropriate times", which means not eating other than the prescribed times, that is, not eating after the sun reaches noon until dawn the next day.
