Are You Gaining Excess Arm Fat Because Of Night Eating Syndrome?

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Losing arm fat can be tough. And if you have night eating syndrome (NES) it will be that much tougher. What is night eating syndrome? It's when you have an excess of food late at night without restraint. Unfortunately, this leads to massive gains of arm fat.

Nowadays, there are many women suffering from this issue because of hectic schedules. You probably have a very hard time preparing a big and balanced breakfast every morning.

And if you skip breakfast, you're more likely to compensate for the lack of calories at night time. Not good!

And here are 5 more negatives of NES and arm fat:

1. Excessive lean tissue loss. Right after you wake up cortisol is peaking. This hormone cannibalizes your muscle for energy. What's the best way to prevent this? By having a big breakfast upon waking. And remember that less muscle mass translates into less calories burned around the clock.

2. Higher levels of insulin resistance. A little known fact, skipping breakfast alters your levels of insulin for the entire day! So if you skip breakfast, expect a higher percentage of calories going to arm fat cells

3. Negative mental states. Skip breakfast and your mood will be lower than it could be. Multiple research studies have shown that people who eat early in the day have much higher levels of mental positivity.

4. Unnecessary arm fat gain. Your body naturally shuts down as the day progresses. And when you're sleeping, your active tissues absorb calories at half their normal rate. So if you have a giant meal sitting in your stomach when you fall asleep, guess where it goes? To your arm fat cells!

5. Reduced physical activity. Once insulin resistance goes up, your energy levels will go down. And with less energy you're more likely to want to stay put. Unfortunately, less movement translates into less calories and less arm fat burning.

Night eating syndrome is a huge obstacle for getting rid of arm fat. If you have it, please start eating earlier in the day. This will provide some huge advantages for getting those toned arms you so desperately deserve. Not only that, but your quality of life will increase dramatically. - 17273
