Slim Arms, Thin Arms And NES

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 before you get all worked up, you first have to figure out whether or not you even have NES. So do you present any of the following:

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. Poor cognitive capacity during the day. Do you find it hard to focus? Do you begin to doze off when you are doing a repetitive task? Is your mood poor?

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. Feel stressed out when you’re eating. Negative states of mood are very common with NES. If you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, sad, neurotic, etc. when you’re eating at night, you could be counterbalancing with food.

6. Family history of NES. NES runs in families. So if multiple family members have it, then your chances of having it are much higher.

Unfortunately, it’s virtually impossible to get thin and slim arms if you are suffering from night eating syndrome. Why? Because your body will most likely store all that late night food as arm fat. It’s just the way the female metabolism works. So if you have night eating syndrome please seek professional help to overcome it! Only then will you reach sexy arm stardom.
