It’s called The Half Day Diet : it is a method developed by nutritional coach and personal trainer Nate Miyaki, which is based on Dr. Sofer’s 2011 studies on weight and hormonal changes that are obtained. eating carbohydrates for dinner.

Miyaki states that you can go on a low-carb diet for about half a day, eating protein for breakfast and lunch (meat + vegetables, fish + vegetables, omelettes, low-fat cheese: no carbohydrates other than vegetables) until dinner. where instead you can freely eat carbohydrates. In short, Miyaki says that the “nutrient timing” or the eating of specific macronutrients at certain times of the day (proteins in the first half, carbohydrates in the second) is a winning strategy for losing weight.

But what exactly do Dr. Sofer’s studies say? From about 2011 to 2015, Dr. Sigal Sofer of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem published a series of studies that focused on consuming carbohydrates at dinner, in a low-calorie diet. Some of these studies are often cited in Italy by Dr. Sara Farnetti, who in fact recommends eating carbohydrates at dinner to reduce cortisol and promote night rest.
However, Dr. Sofer’s studies have not only focused on this point.
First of all, Sofer speaks of “added benefits” if, in addition to calorie restriction, we adopt the strategy of eating most of the carbohydrates in the evening. These benefits would be: a greater reduction of fat mass and visceral fat. An improvement in insulin sensitivity and cholesterol. A decrease in the risk of cardiovascular disease. A regulation of hunger hormones (higher leptin in the evening and lower ghrelin) ( source , source , source )
In fact, nutrient timing has proved effective (always in a low-calorie context) to have greater weight loss results in other contexts , for example with the various forms of intermittent fasting
