Some people are not interested in night's rest. At night they are longing for one thing - food, food, food!
When darkness falls and normal people go to have a rest from labors, THEY go hunting - who opened and who openly make their way to their hunting grounds, where waiting for their silent production. Having finished with her, THEY fall asleep, who serenely, some in tears, but each of THEM knows: it may take a few hours or a few days and hunt again be repeated...
Goes Hunting for Food
According to figures from statistics among people suffering from overweight or obese, nearly half regularly overeat in the evening, and some even organize raids on the fridge in the middle of the night. However, people do it differently: someone every ten minutes drags a piece of sausage, someone once eats a pot of pasta. The thing is, what causes night binge eating may be different, there are different and ways of solving problems.
If you are a representative of a tribe Nocturnal Hunters on Food to begin with, you need to understand what exactly drives you to the fridge, and how much you eat in the evening or at night, what happens after the RAID the kitchen? To make it easier to navigate, explore a few of the most common cases.
"Second dinner"
Good advice is not "after six" helps a lot, because in the evening the digestive system is not working as effectively as in the morning and afternoon. Only those who resort to this method does not always work correctly, because, wishing to lose weight quickly, they not only refuse to dinner, but also very poorly eat Breakfast and lunch. It is not surprising that in nethermine per day the body in the evening there is simply ravenous hunger. Attempt to satisfy this hunger boiled cabbage or cucumber salad is almost always doomed to failure.
As a result, observing all the rules of diet for the day, in the evening, the man breaks down and make her a second dinner, usually from not diet food. Then comes remorse and promise myself tomorrow to stop eating in the evenings. Generally, the impression does not work and after a day or two everything is repeated again, forcing disappointed and a harrowing Night of the Hunter to find other ways of losing weight.
Perestroika
Is solved in such a situation, it's very simple: you simply have to correctly build meals during the day, because the absence dinner involves a full Breakfast and lunch. For example, at Breakfast, people could afford to eat porridge or scrambled eggs, cheesecakes, or a couple of sandwiches - thus he will provide for himself the calories needed for the day's work. Of course, those who are watching their weight, porridge is better not to add sugar, scrambled eggs not necessarily sausage and cheese for sandwiches is best to use whole grain breads. But in General it can be thick and hearty.
About the dinner, too, should not be forgotten. If there is an excess of body weight, it is possible to abandon garnishes, nourishing soups and hearty salads. On the other hand, a large portion of salad from fresh vegetables and a piece of boiled or roasted meat (fish, poultry), absolutely will not hurt. Finally, the approximation of X hours, after which it costs nothing is worth taking a bite. You can eat 100 g low-fat cottage cheese or natural yogurt or fruit salad. Harmless will be boiled or steamed vegetables: green beans, zucchini, peppers, all kinds of cabbage. These dishes are not very high in calories, but they are a good help to get rid of hunger.
Thus, if the diet is where you want no dinner, proper diet plays a very important role and helps easier to go without food in the evening.
Stress eating
Another very common situation for night trips to the kitchen. Stress eating is typical for people who have recently experienced a strong emotional shock, and for people who are in a state of permanent stress, which in modern crazy world not too little. In this case, food is used as an antidepressant, a means of distraction from problems and a kind of simple entertainment.
The mechanism of stress-eating can work at any time of the day, although it most often works at night, when the human nervous system is most vulnerable. By the way, the stress-eating often becomes a cause set to overweight, lonely people, people who lost loved ones and those who in life did not end with the "black stripe".
To understand that you treat stress-eaters simple: first, any emotionally tense situation (even if we are talking about positive emotions! ) want to "stick". Secondly, the choice usually falls on certain products. Although many argue that they are all the same, that is, it is not entirely true.
Night stress-eaters, as a rule, choose food with a strong taste because of the stress sensitivity of taste receptors of the tongue is reduced. For example, stress-eater is more likely to choose smoked sausage than boiled chicken. "Victims" of this group Nocturnal Hunters to food are often sweets, rich in glucose, or food that increase serotonin (the happiness hormone): cheese, chocolate, white bread, bananas. These products possess the properties of natural antidepressants, but, unfortunately, most of them of hypercaloric, which cannot but affect the shape.
To help stress-eaters can, although not always to handle yourself in certain cases require the assistance of a psychologist.
- It is important to follow the diet: it is desirable in addition to main meals to do per day 2-3 small snacks.
- We must try to make the evening time psychological peace: very good help of meditation, yoga, baths with aromatic oils or herbs, Spa treatments.
- You can resort to more intensive activity: aerobics, dancing, swimming - which intensified consumption of "stress hormones".
- You can just take a stroll or enjoy your favorite hobby, what matters is that all this happened away from the kitchen.
- It is better to refuse from watching TV in the evening, especially when it comes to action films, controversial talk shows, sports or news programs. Even the flickering of the TV screen strongly excites the nervous system, not to mention the content of such transmissions. So those who want to spend a relaxing evening at home, it is better to choose Comedy movies or educational programs, in addition, alternative TV can become melodious music or audiobook.
- Another method of weaning stress-eater from night eating: you need to impede his path to the kitchen. For example, put across the kitchen door heavy Ironing Board, in front of her a couple of chairs, and a basin of water. And do not take this advice with a joke: imagine me, imagine every time I wanted to pull out of the fridge a slice of something delicious, disassemble such a barricade?! And if it happens at night and I have to do everything in the dark and silently, so as not to awaken the whole house?
By the way, this Board is well suited to those who are in the evenings eats "nothing to do": usually it is lonely, or feel lonely people, which is also mono attributed to breed stress-eaters.
Empty stomach
There is another kind of Night of Hunters, who drives to the fridge not stress and not a diet, but a real full feeling of hunger. These are people who suffer from chronic gastritis or gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, and some of them don't even know about your diagnosis.
Typically, in this situation, the person in the evening, often closer to the night began to be troubled by hunger: a slight sucking sensation in the stomach, to Express the hungry pain in the stomach area. The choice of products will also be special: often patients with gastritis instinctively choose products, lowering the acidity, or neutral for the stomach: warm milk or yogurt, white bread, biscuits, cereals. Just a few SIPS or pieces help the stomach to calm down and allow the person to sleep. But this peace is just an illusion: on the one hand, the supply of food in the stomach prevents irritation of the gastric juice, on the other hand, the digestive system at an inopportune time is not conducive to her health. So if you fall into this category, the night eaters, it is better to consult a gastroenterologist, because well-chosen treatment will not only save you from an evening of torment, but from overeating at night.
In the area of special attention
Make night raids on the fridge and those who are not satisfied with a small amount of food so they eat once a lot. Sometimes the process of eating poorly controlled and the person wakes up next to an empty pan or pot in which was food cooked for the whole family for a few days: can be eaten literally everything that came to hand. Food Orgy often ends with remorse and tears, but later is repeated with different periodicity. As a rule, such people suffer a great excess body weight or obesity.
Those who can identify with this category Nocturnal Hunters, should pay special attention to your health. Because food Orgy is not the result of lack of willpower or intemperance, as a consequence of severe hormonal imbalance. Usually we are talking about the maladjustment of the work of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus - endocrine organs, "commanders" almost all processes with the participation of various hormones. For example, the failure of their work may be accompanied by a sharp drop in blood sugar levels, and this causes uncontrolled hunger and episodes of overeating.
In order to somehow protect yourself from food breakdown in this case, use a few tips:
- You should always keep in stock anything from low-calorie foods. Low-fat yogurt, Chinese lettuce, cabbage or sour apples should be in the foreground in the fridge to be the first to be at hand.
- Eat these foods slowly in small pieces, chew, which helps to experience a hormonal surge, usually not lasting very long.
- Do not try to experiment with diets, because we are talking about a serious problem, which will help to cope specialist.
As close as possible to pass the tests by an endocrinologist is the main Board in this case.
