Why am I eating more?

Possibly one of the most important reasons if you are overeating is anxiety. This in turn triggers some other compulsive behaviors in the way of eating. It happens every day, and although we try to eat our daily meals, we always have the feeling of a void to fill. The enigma is solved by taking into account the quantity and quality of sleep we achieve while resting. As we had already explained, the night phase works as a natural restorer and chemical regulator, where hormones that control appetite are released:

• Leptin: It is released when you have optimal quality of sleep, resting 7 to 8 hours a day, making you feel satisfied during the day.
• Ghrelin: Its presence is associated with poor or intermittent sleep, insomnia and stress. It will cause you to feel hungry. It is typical of our species to be hungry all day. Satiety is controlled by the brain and stimulates us to look for food to preserve life. We are conditioned to be hungrier according to the energy demands that the activity demands. The important thing is to include healthy snacks, such as raw vegetables, nuts or dried fruits. In addition to “tricking the brain,” these foods contain high nutritional content and will make you feel satisfied. Sleep well, that’s the key to losing weight, building muscle and having energy for a new day.
