In fact, this annoying little habit is by far the most common dietary complaint I hear in my nutrition practice. When I ask clients the 5 W\u2019s of their snacking situation, the answers I usually receive are: chips; after supper; on the couch (while watching TV); with my partner; because I craved salt.<\/p><p>So what gives? Why, despite being such an intelligent species, are we unable to resist our cravings for salty and sweet snacks (even when we know they\u2019re not good for us)? To answer this question, we need to understand a little more about how our brain reacts to such highly-palatable foods.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f19bdf1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f19bdf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Your Brain On Food<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26b1377 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"26b1377\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The hypothalamus is a pea-sized region at the base of the brain that regulates appetite using information delivered through a complex network of nerves and hormones (1).<\/p><p>The hypothalamus\u2019 job is to keep us in energy and weight balance by motivating us to eat when energy intake is less than demand, and turning off the desire to eat once this imbalance corrects. However, this feedback loop can be overridden by consuming highly palatable foods (rich in sugar and fat) that activate the reward centre of our brain (2). And since humans are driven by reward, we\u2019re motivated to continue seeking out foods that tap into this part of the brain.<\/p><p>But here\u2019s the kicker; frequently consuming highly-palatable foods dulls the pleasure we receive from them over time. As such, we need to eat more and more of these foods to elicit the same level of pleasure that our body craves (3).<\/p><p>To combat the pleasure-numbing impact of these foods, we need to reduce our exposure to them. As a general rule, avoid bringing any food into the house that you find yourself compulsively over-eating. For example, in my house, we don\u2019t buy ice cream. Why? Because I will eat a bowl of it every night until it\u2019s gone. Then, thanks to my reward centre, I will be motivated to seek out another pint and consume that until it\u2019s gone. By limiting my exposure to ice cream, I also limit my craving for it. Now, this doesn\u2019t mean that I never eat ice cream; after all, it\u2019s still one of my favourite foods! Rather, when I do get the urge to eat ice cream, I drive to my favourite creamery, order what I truly want, and sit-down to mindfully eat it using all 5 senses. Craving satisfied.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01ac540 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"01ac540\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Assess Your Eating Habits<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1a4109 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d1a4109\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Nighttime eating can also result from what, when, and how you ate during the day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-840b9b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"840b9b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">When You Eat<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7991008 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7991008\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What I often notice in my practice is that clients who complain of evening hunger eat very little during the day, despite this being the timeframe when they are most active.<\/p><p>Look at your energy intake in Cronometer \u2013 is supper your biggest meal?

In today\u2019s fast-paced world, we don\u2019t set aside time to just sit and eat. This is relevant since mindless eating can reduce the pleasure and satisfaction we get from food. And, as explained above, we know how that ends.<\/p><p>So, the next time you sit down to a meal or snack, try to do nothing but eat. Pay attention to how the food smells, tastes, looks, sounds, and feels while you are eating it. Chances are you will derive much more pleasure from eating when you\u2019re not distracted and may even notice yourself getting full more quickly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1cce46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d1cce46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Change Your Evening Routine<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d739ace elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d739ace\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After a long day of work and family obligations, most people like to sit-down in the evening to watch their favourite Netflix show or read a good book. And because we a) want to enhance our pleasure, b) haven\u2019t eaten enough during the day, or c) are looking to self-soothe, we grab a bowl of our favourite snack to munch on while we relax.<\/p><p>Now, what does it mean if you\u2019re working on your nighttime eating by managing your exposure to indulgences, eating more often during the day, eating without distraction, and meeting your protein and fibre needs, but STILL find yourself craving a snack when sitting-down to relax in the evening? In this situation, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019re eating out of habit and that your evening routine is the trigger for your desire to eat.<\/p><p>If the above scenario sounds familiar, I recommend creating a new evening routine. Try switching around the time that you relax, where you relax, or what you do to relax.<\/p><p>For example, if you normally watch TV for an hour or two after cleaning up supper, try getting ready for bed first (maybe by having a relaxing bubble bath), then sit in a different room with a cup of tea before going to bed. A simple switch of routine and scenery may be all you need to settle the urge to eat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1242cc34 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1242cc34\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>References<\/h2><ol><li>de Macedo IC, de Freitas JS, da Silva Torres IL.
