If you have NES, thin arms will forever elude you.

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.

And how do you figure out if you have NES? Take a look at the following list:

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. Lower mental focus during the day. When you skimp on proper nutrition during the earlier parts of the day, your mental abilities will be drastically reduced. You’re also more likely to suffer from depressive emotions.

3. Multiple awakenings at night followed by trips to the refrigerator. Disturbed sleep and excessive food intake at night are primary characteristics of night eating syndrome victims. The interrupted sleep and caloric load really put the nails in your thin arm coffin.

4. Have an abnormally high carbohydrate intake at night. Most women with NES have very low levels of serotonin, the feel good hormone. They compensate for this by loading up on carbohydrates right before bed and during their awakenings.

5. Feelings of anxiety at night. If you feel high strung or anxious when eating, you’re most likely compensating with food. The pairing of negative emotions and food intake is another tell tale sign of NES.

6. Family members with the same patterns. Yep, night eating syndrome runs in the family! So if your family members have it, you’re more likely to have it!

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.
