Question
Hi i want to know how many hours before going to bed should be my
last meal? im drinking grean tea, is there any special brand i should buy and how many times a day should i drink the grean tea. Is casein protein good to drink before going to bed and how long before going to bed should i drink it . please help thank you


Answer

the various green tea
Hi Alex,

Basically, you want to go to bed with your stomach having digested the last meal. This can be up to 3 hours depending on the size and what it is. A full blown restaurant meal would take that long, whereas a small bowl of soup or porridge would need an hour.

drink as much green tea as you want as long as it's pure green tea and you don't add anything to it...it counts towards your daily water intake.

Obviously, I would recommend the Herbalife beverage as it is a suoercharged pure gren tea!!

I can't say that I've seen any benefits to casein before bed so i wouldn't waste your maney on that.

Hopes this helps.
