- HOW TO STOP EATING AT NIGHT -- Most people find evenings and night time the hardest times to manage binge eating. In this video I start about why this is the case and how to free yourself from bingeing at night. I also look into night eating syndrome, which might resonate with some people.

I walk 4 miles a day. I lift weights every day. I eat well during the day. But after dinner all I want are snacks while watching tv. Cookies. Pretzels. Cake. I’m not hungry. At all. I just want to eat. 😢. Then I wake up and I go for my walk and workout.
Same.
I’m trying to figure out what do I really want that I am not getting and substituting with food. It’s the feeling and hormones the food creates that I am wanting elsewhere. Not sure if it’s love, fulfillment of sorts, adventure. Idk yet

I've never heard of "night eating syndrome" before, and you kind of blew my mind when you brought it up because it's 2AM and I'm literally sitting here thinking "I should eat something before I go to bed, otherwise I won't be able to sleep." 😩😩
I just wanted to say thank you to those brave enough to comment below. I feel broken and alone so much of the time.
I've been making peace with food and started having breakfast like 2 weeks ago... To just try to deal with this exactly... I'm still getting up just before I sleep to binge, but I'm having my breakfast right now and it's my priority to just have more meals until it fades away... The night time binging. Hope you're getting better ☝️☝️
Me too 😔
You are definitely not alone
I also think that after a long day we are just sitting with our emotions. Less to distract ourselves. Similar to the boredom eating.
I just love your videos. Your book is in the post to me, cant wait.
I just ate a bunch of chocolate and it’s 2am here in Chicago. Watching this video helped my effort to put aside feelings of guilt and anxiety about eating bad food at such a bad time (according to diet culture 😵). I recommit to radically trusting my body’s hunger cues. Thank you!
I like your comment and it Is helpful to put aside all the guilt that goes along with already messing up. (And then again, if you Want to eat chocolate at 2a.m., go ahead! But if you Don't want to but can't stop, self-recrimination just adds to the hurt. Self-acceptance eases things.)
Thanks for posting this. I meet 4 of the criteria for Nighttime Eating Disorder and I am attempting to recover from BED too. You have given me perspective and hope. Thank you.
Thank you for all your free content ❤. I had bariatric surgery 2 years ago and have started regaining weight, a stone up to now, all the old binge eating habits are creeping back in. I realise the mental and emotional side of my food addiction hasnt gone away. A lot of other people who've had surgery can't eat much years after, sadly lm not one of them. Im listening to your audio book on my walks and this video has helped too as at bedtime l can't stop eating. Thanks again, Amanda.
I absolutely love your content. Your videos are so helpful. Since I found you … after months and months of searching for help finally I found you. Your videos have opened my eyes.. finally I don’t feel like an out of control monster. 🥰
As usual so much helpful point of view, thank you 🥰
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you ❤️
You have such hard to find, and helpful information here on your channel. Thank YOU
ImStillYoshi You are so welcome 🙏🏻
Your videos are always so informative! Thank you 😊
thanks. I used to eat a lot at night. in the beginning, I always blamed myself. but recently, I learn to accept that, I thought that maybe I am the kind of person who has a good appetite at night. so I give myself permission to eat at night without judgment. guess what, some days I feel that I don't want to eat extra snack at night after dinner. big progress.
Very Useful 👍🏿
Thank you ❤️
Thanks so much, I asked you on Instagram and so glad you made this video 😊, I can relate to a lot of this, Natalia
Thank you for creating this video. It aligned a lot of stars for me.
Oh my gosh !!!!I am not even halfway through your video and you sound just like me ! Nexactly like me !!!!oh I wondered all this time why at certain times I cannot make a decision about things absolutely could not over the simplest things I can’t wait to watch the next half!!!!!!
thank you for the great points about eating at night
Good job 👍
I thought I was the only one that had this problem. I could easily have night time syndrome. I suffer from depression/anxiety, and insomnia. I am medicated and it helps but it’s still a struggle. Thank you for sharing this information. I will try to make peace with it and start eating food earlier in the morning when I get up to see if I can change my circadian rhythm.
Thank you thank you for this video!!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
100% that's what happening to me... thanks from lebanon❤
Spot on. Exactly how my body works.
This is very interesting information that people tend to want to eat most at the end of the day. I’m surprised I’d never heard that before.
Very nice. I like your calm voice and this is a very helpful video. Also you are cute! The video really touches a chord, makes a lot of sense. Thank you!
Happy to hear it was helpful!
Thank you for saving my life. Peace . Yes
I follow you religiously and some how missed this video until now. This way helpful, thank you! However I do omad, and find that eating in the evening hurts my sleep
This is me word for word
I sick of waking up around 2-3 am and eat so much. I want to be a normal person.

Thank you 💖
Today is Jan 29,2024 and Ive resolved to go to bed 3 hours after eating. That means get to bed by 9pm. Now that we are starting to get more daylight in the AM's> Here in Minnesota/USA I will rise earlier. This allows a good 9 hours sleep. I know, since I am long post total hysterectomy with no added hormones, that not sleeping well is a stressor that increases cortisol and fat storing hormones.. . Here is hoping and praying I can out sleep both my cravings and my stress hormones. Looking to get my rythm~ groove back. God bless you for your factual, easily understandable content. God bless your channel and your followers/subscribers. 😘GG From MN/USA
Dang. I’ve never felt so seen or understood.
I will be half asleep wander to the kitchen to eat some thing I knew it couldn’t just be me out there that’s like this I don’t understand why I did this once again I’m halfway through your video I’m not I’m sleepy I’m sleepy I will fall asleep with food in my mouth I have woke up choking before
My father also struggled with it. Sometimes it feels like it's pointless to fight it. Now I know about ghrenaline... you have named the monster.
I really appreciate your video. I am 330 pounds, have fatty liver disease and severe arthritis pain that has developed since I became overweight in 2007.
I eat healthfully and well during the daytime,although my first meal is usually a brunch between 11-1, with no hunger or craving for food until a few hours after I wake up. I am a great cook and make healthy, satisfying meals with the majority of my foods consisting of a large variety of vegetables, with healthy fats and meats/protein. I eat all the colors and pay attention to variety and local seasonal foods. I am at the point where this kind of healthy eating and food prep is second nature and easy. A typical day for me is around 1200-1500 calories. I am 5'10".
Then I go to bed around 9 pm and it's a struggle to go to sleep. Around 10 I get a craving that is so strong it is impossible to ignore. I can lie there and say to myself, you are not hungry, you have adequately eaten a healthy snack with good fats, it's still in your stomach and you are absolutely not hungry. But I can't sleep unless I eat something. And it's different than during the day. It's a crazed, strong, desire. I often can relate to how drug addicts describe their inability to resist. I know I'm doing the wrong thing. I know it's harmful. I even try to hide evidence of my behavior from my husband. So I overeat whatever I've got, things like cheese or nuts. Last night I ate a large salad with carrots, celery, bacon bits, cheddar cheese, cucumber, and onion at 10 pm. Trying as always to eat good healthy fats and protein to combat cravings. Went to sleep. Got up to pee at 1 am, ate a huge bowl of frozen berries with vanilla yogurt (I don't normally eat this type of yogurt because of the sugar content). Went back to bed feeling overful and gross. Got up again and had another bowl plus 4 big slices of cheddar cheese. 7 am woke up feeling exhausted, ate 4 more slices of cheese. This has been my life for years now and I feel completely out of control. I recently started naltrexone after breaking through my shame and fully confessing the truth to my psychiatrist (I have PTSD and major depressive disorder).
I often wish for a sleep drug that will knock me out so thoroughly I can't do it anymore. I have had sleep problems for years, have used several different drugs with varying degrees of success. The best one that reliably helped me to sleep was Ambien, but after about a year of using it I was zombified during the first half of the day and was losing my vocabulary. So I had to stop.
This feels like a never ending cycle that I am helpless against. No matter how much knowledge, desire, or motivation to get healthy and build good habits, I literally always fail. I don't know how to get better.
With my fatty liver disease, I know that unless I lose weight I will die slowly and painfully of cirrhosis. I can be thinking of this fact AS I AM STUFFING FOOD IN MY MOUTH and it makes no difference.
Thanks for sharing this. In a smaller way I feel out of control too. I haven’t tried any medication, I’m convinced I can get control by fixing other problems. But your post made me feel better to hear of another having these issues - not that that sounds so good, like your troubles made me feel better! But I appreciate you sharing this. I really hope you get better and I’m sorry you have such troubles. I sabotage myself every night and it’s awful; like you I Have to stop. I’m not so overweight but I have other problems that will destroy me if I don’t get hold of this. Again I hope you make progress and your health can improve. Have you tried just eating some of that richer stuff during the day with your other meals instead of trying to be so perfect? I’m sure that’s not a new idea to you but maybe it would help. You’re cooking sounds really good, by the way. Impressive that even your earlier late night binge was healthy: a salad and stuff. Cheese gets me, too: that’s what I put in my mouth last night when I needed to be brushing my teeth and going to sleep! Then it took off from there. Well writing takes up a lot of time too so I’m stopping. Hopefully we can muster the willpower to get what we want out of life - like health and other things. Not beating ourselves up is helpful too.
Go pescetarian
@Ozark Lisa that sounds so hard, you must be exhausted. I hope it's OK to say that at your height/weight, even if you ate 2600 calories per day you would still be in deficit by a pound a week. Could it be that even though you are eating nutritious food you are not getting enough energy nutrition (calories) during the day? I also suffer from arthritis and I know how hopeless and wearing the constant pain can be too. I hope that this video and Sarah's other videos give you insight, and that you will soon find peace in your night. Xx
@@TiaraHelen my thoughts exactly! I'm only 4'8" and I can have 1200 a day. She could definitely have more calories during the day.
My sense is that you may be under eating during the day, especially fats and so your body is rebelling later. I have definitely experienced this even though I don't have an eating disorder
I literally hit all 5 criteria 🥺
Yes amen
I’ve never heard that there were two types of ghrelin. I was fasting and got through ok until 8 PM! I had so much anxiety that I couldn’t go to sleep. Of course, I gave in and ate and berated myself mercilessly. I have nighttime eating syndrome. If I don’t eat before bed, I stay awake, sometimes all night.
i work 3 hours in the evening cleaning and when i get home i just like to snack, and some time I eat something small, pastry or bag of crisp not all ways hungry, some times i am really hungry, but during the day I eat at 12 for lunch and at 3 a meal, skip breakfast, but some time I have breakfast then my brain says you can't eat anymore if i have 3 meal a day.
Sometimes it’s so hard for me to not be able to get the sleep that I should be getting because my own mind keeps telling me that I should be eating more then I shouldn’t be because sometimes I get so hungry at night because not all the time I’ve been eating as much during the day because I’ve been trying to watch out on certain things that I shouldn’t having during the week that I’m trying so hard to be good but at night when I’m actually starving I go for the food that I shouldn’t be having because I go for my comfort food that I’m always craving for
Keep in mind this is for someone who works a normal shift. If you work nights or swing it doesnt really apply.
For example lunch is at 8 pm for me and dinner is around 12 or 1 am.
Interestingly, I have this terrible habit of waking up an hour or 2 after falling asleep, feeling compelled to eat. But I meet none of the night eating syndrome criteria.
I don’t eat 25% of my caloric intake during the night - only 100-200 calories of protein powder (i eat it with a spoon). I have no idea why or what to do, most of the time I only realize my actions after I’ve committed the nocturnal ritual; you’re so tired in the moment that you executive neurons are still asleep.
But occasionally I sleep straight through the night no problems.
It’s comforting to know that others have experienced this and broken the curse. I’ve tried white knuckling it, but it’s unsustainable. After a week or two, you give up waging mental warfare at 2am. Another decision I made was to lock every kitchen cupboard and fridge with chains and a locks for a month. It worked, because it was physically impossible for me to eat. But the habit didn’t lose it’s grip. Which has made me realize that it’s probably something physical (hormonal etc) rather than mental (the momentum of bad decisions).
I don't see any answers in this video. Can someone help me with that.?
What is prescribed for NES?
I don't know what the official prescription is for NES but I can say that what ultimately freed me from nighttime eating and snacking was getting free from what was driving me to food in the first place. For me it was a deeper solution but it has lasted over 10 years
God bless you all act 238 for heaven Love these people videos I been eating at night. Like whole box donuts. Im working on it apples curb appetite This Lady. Has beautiful ideas with Good helpful Tips
What sort of hormone therapy is there for NES? I’ve been suffering with this ever since I started severe calorie restriction when I wrestled in high school and it’s been almost 20 years
I don’t know about hormone therapy, quite a few people get prescribed antidepressant, which can sometimes help with the circadian dysregulation.
What’s available will also depend where in the world you are, so I would recommend speaking to your healthcare provider about it
Thank you!
I was fasting for the Lord ... ended up breaking early and now my body feels awful... binge ate after 6 days fasting... want even hungry but just messed up....
Watching this as if I needed to call my AA sponsor
5 out of 5, 🤔
Ladt night after 8pm , i atr a packet of crisps , some chocolate, bowl of cereal and some brown bread with coleslaw and cheese 😡
I’m so fat 😓
what do you saying? emm i dont really understand hehe
Taking pharmaceutical drugs with known dangerous side effects in order to prevent yourself from eating at night? 🤔
Not my advice; that comes from the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) here in the UK
Jesus has placed it on my heart to share the Gospel with you. Jesus died and spilled His precious blood on the cross to pay the price for our sins, was buried and on the third day rose from the dead according to the scriptures. Salvation is a free gift, please accept it now if you haven't already by BELIEVING in what Jesus did for us. The rapture of the Church is imminent, God bless you!
