Life After Diets

137. But Why Can't I Stop Eating in the Evenings?


Listen Later

The most common time of day for people to overeat and/or binge is in the evening. After work, after dinner, after the kids are in bed, after the quiet sets in. Those hours between dinner and bedtime can be the hardest to navigate and there are many reasons why this happens so much -- we're here to take a comprehensive look at many of these reasons. We'll discuss:

  • The #1 reason people eat more at night
  • Reward and Dopamine (see episode 120)
  • Can it just be boredom?
  • Joylessness
  • Ghrelin, the hunger hormone
  • The stories we tell ourselves (and the judgments we make)
  • Our evening environments and the people who are (or are not) around us
  • Stillness, loneliness, and procrastination (see episode 89)
  • But how do we fix it?
