The most common time of day for people to overeat and/or binge is in the evening. After work, after dinner, after the kids are in bed, after the quiet sets in. Those hours between dinner and bedtime can be the hardest to navigate and there are many reasons why this happens so much -- we're here to take a comprehensive look at many of these reasons. We'll discuss:
The #1 reason people eat more at night
Reward and Dopamine (see episode 120)
Can it just be boredom?
Joylessness
Ghrelin, the hunger hormone
The stories we tell ourselves (and the judgments we make)
Our evening environments and the people who are (or are not) around us
Stillness, loneliness, and procrastination (see episode 89)
But how do we fix it?

I’ve found crocheting at night very helpful to transition. The rhythm and feeling of production but allowing me to rest mentally is really nice.

[@rebekahbailey7332]

The 40% guide is really useful (I adjust by 2 hours because my daytime is 2 hours earlier than most people). Not eating enough I find very difficult to break, particularly because of societal messages to eat a bowl of cornflakes, small lunch, don't spoil your dinner or meal out, or miss meals for WL. This all made binging more likely that or a migraine. I am no longer in this trap, I like my little prior to meal out nourishment means I am more focused on the meal rather than the food and try to teach this to others.

Yup, BOREDOM! In the winter! And the idea of transitioning from OUT with others to coming home alone at night...exactly. I also have realized that if I'm out with others not enjoying myself, that's when I'll come home and want eat more. Out of anger? Ugh.

What is the difference between restrict and restraint for people? I feel like intuitive eating must have a component of restraint in order to not perpetuate the disordered eating. Also, there NEEDS to be a reset or normalization of eating such that the digestive hormones will gradually be trained to respond correctly. Also, if you take your weight and multiply it by 10, and with no exercise, that is the calories to maintain that weight, so if you are very heavy, your body needs and wants the calories to keep that amount. In order to figure how much you need, I would think that at the beginning, you should at least know basic nutrition and your current weight maintenance food calories. And yes, not all calories are the same, but generally it helps to know how much is enough and at least a baseline of what you need to add to your body throughout the day, then added the extras.

[@iamstefaniemichele]

For many, many people with BED and bulimia, this type of thinking only exacerbates the disorder.
