Ideas/tips for insatiable hunger at night
-
im insatiable in the evening… and i always end up binge eating and really upsetting my gut and digestion and as a result get pretty poor sleep… i feel quite guilty that i keep uncontrollably making this mistake despite making it a goal not to
I was just wondering if anyone has some ideas of foods/meals that are safe to eat a large amount of in the evenings. I dont know why but i can never seem to achieve that ‘satisfied’ feeling post meal… its either ‘im still hungry’ or ‘i ate so much im so uncomfortable and wish i could throw up’
I cant seem to curb my hunger and want to replace my binges with things that would satisfy me, not irritate my gut, and not make me feel gross. I’d appreciate any input especially from those who’ve experienced something like this

I remember reading very recently (but can't remember where) that Peat recommended fat and carbs as food to be eaten closer to bed time, versus heavy on the protein. Granted, that probably won't help with less weight gain, if that's an objective, but it may help with feeling satiated for better sleep.

@Mossy I just started doing this too. I restrict protein after midday and my sleep has improved greatly

Interesting. I don't know if I could go low protein after midday.

Yes, harness the power of your circadian rhythms for weight loss by making breakfast or lunch your main meal of the day.
Should we eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper?

@Tarzan17, have you tried having the frequent mini meals during the day or increasing your calories at breakfast and lunch so that your blood sugar is stable and your body’s energy requirements met by evening? When I had digestive issues and an insatiable appetite, ice cream was one food that was gentle on my gut and satisfying.
