Slim Arms, Thin Arms And NES

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Night eating syndrome is thin arm enemy #1.

What is night eating syndrome? In a nutshell, it's when you eat very little during the day and gorge at night. If you have night eating syndrome, your levels of melatonin, leptin and serotonin will be lower.

But how do you know whether or not you have night eating syndrome to begin with? Well, do you have any of the following symptoms:

1. Skip breakfast and have a small lunch. This is the tell tale sign of night eating syndrome. If you rush out of the house in the morning without having a solid breakfast, you'll make up for the caloric deficit at night.

2. Reduced mental function. A poor mood with little ability to concentrate can be indicative of poor early day nutrition. When you restrict calories during the earlier parts of the day, mental functioning and mood will be greatly reduced.

3. Lots of late night awakenings. This one is a killer. Not only does it interrupt your sleep, but it also pushes you to make trips to the refrigerator. The end result? Sporadic late night feedings, most of which goes towards your arm fat!

4. Eat lots of carbohydrates at night. The reduced mood is usually compensated for by gorging on carbohydrates at night. If you find yourself loading up on pasta at night, you may have NES.

5. Have feelings of stress at night when you're eating. Stress hormones, anxiety, and depression are all characteristics of women with NES. If you are anxious or sad when eating at night, you could be compensating for emotional wounds.

6. A family history of NES. Unfortunately, NES runs in families. So if you know family members with NES, your chances of having it are that much greater.

Not only is living with NES unhealthy, but it will also blunt any efforts to get thin and slim arms. So you have to seek help if you can't get rid of it on your own. Doing so will improve your quality of life substantially. And you'll finally be able to get the sexy arms you want and deserve.
