Q. I have recently developed this horrible eating habit. I will eat until I'm full during the day (regular meals) but at night I get super hungry around 1-2am (every night) and I binge eat until I feel sick. It's not even just because I'm bored - I literally feel like I haven't eaten for hours. this habit is so strange and it developed recently. Afterward, I am unable to throw up (I've tried before). What can I do to stop this?
A. If you're worry about weight gain, which you will if you eat right before you sleep, eat some veggies or a fruit as a snack. They're healthy and you won't have to worry about puking it afterwards.
How can i stop my night time binge eating?
Q. A typical day for me goes like this : I don't eat at all during the day. No breakfast lunch or dinner. Then around 10pm ill binge. Ill eat four or five meals in one sitting. I consume over 2000 calories during a binge, then the next day I don't eat because I feel so disgusting from the other night, and reapet the cycle. I honestly can't control this. Is there anyway I can break this cycle? I'm gaining a bit of weight from it and I'm desperate to stop
A. All habits take a little time (2-3 weeks) to develop and become a part of our every day lives. Start new habits that include eating proper sized portions earlier in the day.
Your current habit took time to develop you weren't born binge eating right.
With practice your habit of binge eating at night will transition to eating properly throughout the day.
If you get the urge to eat at night you'll need to find something to take your mind off of it. I will usually go for a walk, jog, exercise, read a book or anything else that requires using my hands, because watching TV leaves your hands free to cram into a bag of chips you know what I'm saying?
If I decide to exercise (35-45 minutes minimum) I'll always drink a small whey based protein shake after wards (20-25 grams of protein max) then take a warm shower and go straight to bed.
Ingesting a small amount of protein immediately following exercise will keep your body burning additional stored fat and preserve muscle for a leaner body.
Practice makes perfect and the sooner you start the sooner you'll change your habits.
Start today!
Everything in moderation...Everything!

How can I stop binge eating in the early hours of the night?
Q. I'm trying to loose weight and am a binge eater. I'm finding it particularly hard to stop these cravings at night. It is for sweet food. I am fully awake and know what I'm doing but I can't help myself. I can't eat it fast enough and won't be satisfied until I eat it. I eat 3 healthy meals a day with snacks in-between and have something sweet after tea to satisfy my sweet tooth which seems to work. However, I cannot control myself at night. Please note that I am severly depressed and on medication
A. Hi Katie. I know how hard this can be. Especially at night. I think it is crucial to continue to get help with your depression if you want to stop binge eating once and for all.Our emotional state of being truly effects our cravings when we are binge eaters. Please continue to fight for your health, as am I. and please follow my blogs about binge eating and dieting!! Together we can over come this!!
