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!
Now here are 5 reasons why NES (night eating syndrome) leads to excess arm fat:
1. Massive metabolic drops. Having a robust breakfast right when you wake up brings levels of cortisol right back down. What does cortisol do? It burns through muscle like a knife going through butter. And reductions in muscle mass really damage your metabolism.
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. Additional arm fat. When you're asleep, your active tissues (muscle, brain and organs) absorb nutrients at half their normal rate. So if you ramjet your body with a bunch of calories at night, a large percentage of them will go straight to arm fat.
5. Lethargy. Without all the extra energy you get from early day feedings, you're more likely to suffer from energy lulls. And if you have less energy you're probably not going to move around as much. This translates into less calories burned.
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.
