No one is immune from a sudden awakening of appetite in the middle of the night or late in the evening.

It is important to understand that the reason for such behavior is not an early dinner. Nutritionists have named the main reason.

Nutritionist Alena Kapustina told IA RuNews24.ru why we often want to eat in the evening or at night.

What is the reason?

Evening hunger attacks are related to biological rhythms and a person's lifestyle. This is in general.

If we consider the problem in particular, then the following may contribute to it:

  • decreased levels of hormones responsible for metabolism;
  • low physical activity during the day;
  • nervous tension and fatigue (remember stress eating);
  • lack of sleep, which leads to hormonal imbalance;
  • violation of the diet.

How to fight

It is important to establish a diet and stick to it, because such breakdowns are often caused by the habit of skipping breakfast or lunch.

As a result, it becomes difficult to control your appetite in the evening.

It is equally important to maintain an active lifestyle, avoid stressful situations and sleep at least 7-8 hours a day, the doctor recommends.
