Nighttime Food Cravings And Binge Eating May Be Due To Hormones Driving Hunger And Signaling Feelings Of Satiety,

reports that “food cravings” and nighttime binge eating may be due to a “complex orchestra of hormones that drive hunger and signal feelings of satiety,” researchers found in a study involving “32 obese men and women, half of whom had a habit of binge eating.” The study revealed that “satiety hormones may be lower during the evening hours, while hunger hormones rise toward nightfall and may be stoked even higher by stressful situations.” The findings were published in the International Journal of Obesity. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/30/well/eat/binge-eating-at-night-your-hormones-may-be-to-blame.html
