š Dinner Before 6PM: Not Just Trendy, Itās Science-Backed AF
Hereās the teaāyour circadian rhythm (internal body clock) works best when your meals are aligned with the sun. That means:
ā Better digestion
Your metabolism slows down after dark. If you eat late, the food just chills in your stomach = bloating, acidity, and fat gain.
ā Weight loss on autopilot
Eating early reduces insulin spikes and keeps fat storage low. Itās like passive fat-burning, bro.
ā Improved sleep
Late dinners mess with your melatonin production. Early eating = deeper sleep = better skin, better moods.
ā Reduced cravings
When your body knows foodās coming early, you donāt go hunting for chips at midnight like a hungry ghost.
š¼ But I Work Late, Bro ā How TF Do I Eat Dinner at 6PM?
Enter: The Two-Dabba Hackā¢
(Coin this. Trademark this. Frame this.)
Hereās what I (and smart corporate survivors) do:
š„ Dabba 1: The OG Lunch
Time: 1 PM
Meal: Balanced, wholesome ā dal, rice, roti, sabzi, or a grain bowl
Tip: Eat it slow but finish in under 20ā25 mins.
š„ Dabba 2: Mini Dinner
Time: 5:45ā6 PM
Meal: Lighter fare like khichdi, upma, salad with paneer/egg, or millet poha
Goal: Satisfying but not sleep-inducing.
š What about the rest of my break?
Use the remaining 15ā20 mins to walk around, vibe in fresh air, or just sip green tea or hot water. Helps digestion, burns fat, and gives boss vibes.
š½ļø For the Weekend Foodies: How to Dine Out Smartly Before 6PM
Letās be realāMumbaiās street joints open post 6PM. But hereās the hack:
Go early. 6:15 PM is ideal. You beat the rush & get fresh servings.
Avoid gravies & fried stuff at night. Opt for grilled, steamed or tandoori dishes.
Sip green tea or warm water after (even at a chai tapriājust ask bhaiya nicely).
Finish dinner before 7PM max, especially on weekdays.
You still live your life, but your digestion stays on point. Balance FTW.

Donāt wait till 9AM to panic-pack your dabba. Chop veggies at night, keep rice cooked, prep sauces. Your future self will thank you.
