While you are still digesting your dinner, you are sitting with a king size bowl of chips, this is an unhealthy eating pattern. Well, sure you are not alone many people suffer from this disturbing problem, also called sumo wrestler diet which could lead to various disorders and lifestyle diseases like obesity, thyroid, diabetes, sleeplessness and depression!</p>
<p>Why people put on tremendous weight is primarily because of a huge meal eaten late at night and then sleeping right after, a sure-shot way to pack in the pounds! The body stores the extra calories as fat and is unable to process or burn it. </p>
<p>â¨â¨How does this exactly happen, the cause or concern for this kind of routine is very common! After a big meal, many people crave or indulge in more junk food, from sugar cravings, to chips or sweets or other unhealthy foods. In order to fix it, you have to understand why these changes happen in your body that make you desire food late at night.</p>
<p>â¨â¨<b>Trigger Factorsâ¨</b></p>
<p>Nocturnal munching is the culprit for stubborn weight issues, besides sabotages one’s self-esteem. Boredom, restlessness, sadness or grief, frustration, anger, insomnia, loneliness, lack of outdoor time, nutritional imbalance, self-denial in terms of keeping yourself away from food or less food through the day you’ll break down at night. </p>
<p>One of the most important causes is an imbalance of the hormones which drive your appetite so you have to be able to balance them to avoid the binge. Four hormones that are vital, all these hormones have to be kept in balance. </p>
<p><b>1: Insulin</b> – An important hormone that the body produces and processes the sugar in your food, hence when the insulin spikes followed by a crash after eating foods as sugar, flour and such other junk, it increases hunger. And this means it can trigger post a large meal of good food.â¨</p>

And if you take in a lot of sugar, processed foods, or flour, the leptin stops working.</p>
<p>â¨<b>3. Gherkin</b> – This is a hunger hormone produced in the stomach normalizes your appetite, it gives your body the message that you are hungry hence eat.â¨</p>
<p><b>4. Peptide YY</b> – This hormone produced in the intestines, signals that you are full and don’t need any other food to stuff your body. â¨</p>
<p><b>5. Cortisol</b> &#8211; This hormone is needed to be considered, as it is the stress hormone. When we’re stressed, the cortisol levels flare up, so we get hungrier, followed by blood sugar and insulin levels shooting up. This stage is actually the pre-diabetes or insulin resistance cycle. </p>

<p>Expert Indira Thounaojam says, ‘Midnight snacking is on an alarming rise thanks to stressful life, exhaustion, easy access to junk, lack of time and relationships troubles. Also sometimes your body sends you food cravings when it is really thirsty, you could try hot water with lemon, ginger, a little real maple syrup and a dash of cayenne pepper as it is cleansing, detoxing and stimulating to kill the munch. If you brush your teeth and floss immediately after dinner or before you go to bed. You will not wake up to grab a bite. You could try burning aromatic candles or incense which could curb your appetite sans chocolate and vanilla aromas or even keep lavender pack under your pillow and sniff. Read up an interesting book or clean up the house when you get night cravings to keep the urge at bay! Get outside every single morning or evening for thirty minutes to an hour could totally change your life. Don’t stack your fridge with junk food at all, only healthy food that way you don’t over indulge.’ </p>
