Scientific finding and facts about night eating and unwanted weight gain

Here are some new scientific findings about over-weight and weight-loss. There is however one warning to be said about scientific findings. Scientific findings in this field have often later proved to be false or only valid for a group of over-weight persons. One should therefore allways be somewhat sceptical about such findings, regardless of their origin.

1. Weight gain from night eating: Eating during night more easily result in weight gain than eating during day-time. This occur even if the night eating result in less eating during day by the same amount of nutrient.

2. Weight gain from night waking: Staying wake at night so that a person does not get his needed sleep, easily result in obesity. This occure even  without night eating. A person that wants to get slim, should therefore get a good sleep every night.

3. Night eating syndrome: There has been found a pattern by many individuals that some doctors believe should be regarded as a specific disease, called Night Eating Syndrome, where night waking and eating sessions are important symptoms. The syndrome has been defined as a result of behaviour studies conducted by a team from the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center - USA and related endocrine studies by a team of  the University Hospital in Tromsö - Norway.

 

About Night eating syndrome

a. The characteristics of this syndrome

The syndrome is characterized by the following symptoms:

- Lack of eating in the morning (morning anorexia).

- Depressive feelings or low mood level during daytime, sometimes even typical depression.

- Difficulties of falling to sleep. Staying wake at night.

- Agitation and restlessness during night. 

- Night eating, often as much as 4 times each night, and usually of carbohydrate-rich food (sugar and satrch).

- Sleeping between each eating session. Each eating session makes it easier for the person to fall to sleep, but the sleep only lasts as long as there is an elevated level of carbohydrates in the blood.

- The eating pattern result in half or more of the intake of food occure between dinner and the morning.

- The eating pattern often result in a greater than normal food intake during a 24 hour's time, but the total food intake is not extreme, as for example by binge eating.

- The eating pattern is often followed by feeling of guilt in the day-time.

- The pattern must persist for at least 2 months before the diagnosis night eating syndrome is appropriate.

 

b. The physiological mechanisms and causes of night eating syndrome

People suffering from this disease have constantly an elevated level of the stress hormone cortisol. They have a reduced level of the hormone melatonine necessary for normal sleep. They also have less of the hunger-reducing hormone leptin during night.

10 % of of obese persons seem to be suffering from night eating syndrome, but not everyone suffering from this syndrome is over-weight.

The origine of the syndrome may be a prolonged elevated stress,  and an abnormal way of reacting to stress.

Since the syndrome includes a strong habit pattern, the different parts of the habit pattern may enforce each other and make the condition persist. Not eating breakfast in the morning, results in reduced blood sugar levels with subsequent depressive feelings, restlessness and fatigue. And ten the eating of carbohydrate rich food will result in an excessively elevated blood sugar level that falls rapidly again with new attcks of low mood, fatigue and restlessness.

 

c. Treatment of night eating syndrome

Since persons suffering from this disease have an elevated level of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal medulla, a possible specific organic reason for this elevated level should be searched for, and if found treated.

Since a stress pattern often is an important element of the cause, the measures to reduce the dayly stress levels probably will help against the condition.

- Factors or conditions making stress at work or in family life should be eliminated.

- Psychological councelling may be of help.

- Since the syndrome includes a strong habit pattern, one should try to break this pattern. It is difficult to change habits when the reason behind the habist are fundamental physiological patterns. However, one can still manage to do something in that direction.  Allways eating breakfast in the morning can be a good beginning of new and better habits.

- A habit of regular training, for example jogging or swimming, often reduces the stress levels, and makes it easier to fall to sleep in the night.

- A supplement of the amino acid Tryptophan may elevate the level of melatonine and make a person sleep better.

- Dayly meditation has shown to reduce stress, and may help.

- One should try to eat food with a low glycemic index. This is food that causes a slow elevation of the blood sugar, and then causes the blood sugar level to be stable for a long time. The food shall not contain refined sugar or starch. It should contain all necessary nutrients, including proteins, fat and slowly absorbable carbohydrates. Such food are: Full corn bread or cereals, fish, seafood, vegetables, poultry, lean meat and  fruit without added sugar or fat. Also drink water and to some extend pure juices.

 

What about all those diets out there - what is a good diet cure?

You can find a plethorea of weight loss diets on the market or solicitated from weight loss experts or gurus. These diets can be grouped in four cathegories:

- Those simply not working; 

- Those not working and dangerous to your helath;

- Those that are effective but will hurt your health at the same time;

-  Those working and are good for your health.

All the diets that are effective and good for your health in some way or another help you to gain full controle of the amount of food and the type of food you take in, and of other aspects of your lifestyle, like your theraining and activity level.

It is simply not possible to loose weight without first gaining full controle of your lifestyle habits. Some supplements and tricks can help, but you must also consider your lifestyle and chenge it the right way. A good diet cure will learn you new and better over-all lifestyle habits. Other characteristics of good diet cures are the following:

- They allow you to get enough protein, vitamins and minerals each day.

- They regulate the amount of fat, the amount of carbohydrates or both that you take inn each day.

- They contain however some amount of both fat and carbohydrates each day since you need some of these nutrients.

- They allow you to eat 3- 5 times each day, so that you do not starve.

- They allow you to eat a varied mixture of food types, they do not base a good prortion of the food intake upon just a narrow category of tood types or only one food type.

- They prescibe natural food that has not been heavily processed.

Types of weight reduction programs to stear away from

There are a lot of weight reduction programs on the market that can make you loose weight fast in the short run, but can make sick too and that often will make you gain even more weight once the slimming program is over. Here are a list of some particularities often found in such programs:

- Th eprogram is based on days or periods with plain starving.

- The program is based on a period where you mostly eat only one sort of food.

- The program is based on skipping of meals, eventually with consuming some zero-calory concentrate instead of meals.

. The porgram is based on consuming food with only proteins and no carbohydrates and fat.

- Zero fat programs or zero carbohydrate programs. It might be useful to try out consuming less carbohydrates and more fat, or less fat and ome more carbohydrates, but zero consume of either fat or carbohtdrates is not good.
