Why You Should Eat Dinner Early

The first human test of early time-restricted feeding found that this meal-timing strategy reduced swings in hunger and altered fat and carbohydrate burning patterns, which may help with losing weight. In early time-restricted feeding (eTRF), people eat their last meal by the mid-afternoon and don't eat again until breakfast the next morning.

Eating dinner early and hitting your bed soon to get decent hours of sleep will prevent overeating at night. It is believed that late night dinner is linked to obesity. When you eat an early dinner, it will help to lose weight rapidly as you would know what you are eating and the amount of calorie intake. Hence, Jumia Food, Nigeria’s no.1 food ordering platform, identifies health benefits of early dinner.
