Hello, everybody. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the podcast. I wanted to do a podcast today about something that I see come up a lot. Probably, I mean,

I've been coaching for just about five years. I would say this is probably what I see people

struggle with the most. And that is like, how do I create some type of nighttime routine?

Because I can't stop overeating at night. And so TLDR, overeating at night, right? I would say this is the most common pattern that I see. I hear often from people that like everything goes fine throughout the day. All day I'm fine. And then when I get home, once I pick the kids up, once we walk through that door, suddenly everything goes out the window. So I feel like when you can get a grip on your nights and

evenings, you can make a lot of progress. So that's what we're going to talk about today. It's important

because when you're dealing with night eating, it affects many different things. It can affect your

sleep. It can affect your health and it can sabotage your weight loss goals. It can undo the work

that you're putting in. And so there are a couple

things I want to look at. One thing specifically that I think is very important to take an inventory

of is I really want you to be honest with yourself and make sure you're not under eating during the

day. So under eating during the day is going to drive major hunger signals over desire. Your body is going to want to make up for not

eating throughout the day. And so that's the first thing we want to kind of cross out as we've gone

through this. We know we're not under eating because being able to go most of the day without

eating, it's not a badge of honor. It's a sign that you are ignoring your hunger cues and that you're overriding your body and that you're busying yourself.

And for a lot of people, they get excited. They're like, ooh, I didn't eat all day. And then

you go home and you binge the whole kitchen and you're, you just wish that you could just not

eat all day and then come home and have some chicken and broccoli and then you lose weight so fast. Stop lying to yourself that it's a facade. Again, no badge of honor for that. Make sure that you're addressing your physical

hunger. And the reason why I always tell my clients, this is super important is because we don't want

to be treating this like an emotional issue when it's a physical issue of underfueling. It's easy to

think, oh, I just wasn't hungry all day. And then when I got home,

I was starving. And I think I'm just bored. And it's like, no, you didn't eat all day. Or you

ate very, very little all day. Or you skipped breakfast and then you had a tiny ass lunch.
