Ah, yes, the harmones.

Are those anything like hermones?

This happens to me after large 12:00 a.m. pizza.

When you're young, you don't care. This is exactly my point. I did this all the time when I was younger and played. Never once gave it a 2nd thought and never gained a pound afterwards either. Then one morning you wake up and you're like, where did all this come from? Poor eating habits. You don't think about when you are on the go. Once the years catch up with you. You start to think about how i got all of this and why won't it go away. That's where I'm at now. With all the info and fancy diets out here, you start to think.

How can i eat a large meal before bed and wake up hungry? Then you wake up and eat a big breakfest. That is the definition of overeating. Either you got a tapeworm inside of you, or some other medical condition, like strung-out or addicted to food. Just like you can be addicted to alcohol, you can be addicted to food. We all know we need food to survive, but there is this thing called overdoing it, abuse, overeating. These are signs of being addicted. Just like you need to control your consumption of alcohol, you need to control your consumption of food or else you will look like a pig. You don't need all the fancy diets, although I'm not against anything that works for you. But at a very basic level, you just need to control your consumption of food. It's really very simple, just say NO!

But I can't control it, they put this drug in there that makes me want more.

Seriously, you can't call me a moron and then proceed to ask this question.

You're hungry for "breakfest" in the morning because while you were sleeping your body digested the food you ate the night before.

When you over eat, you get hungry more quickly because your stomach (the organ in your body that collects the food) stretches and makes room. It's a pattern of behavior that has real physical consequences, and trying to blame it on a secret drug injected by evil food manufacturers is a classic way to avoid taking responsibility for your own poor decisions (not you specifically, OS).

Hey look, don't take my word for it. Take your own test. Pig out on some fish, Chinesse Food, chicken, something white meat right before going to bed. Wake up the next morning and note how you feel. Great, tired, relaxed, hungry, whatever. Now, do the same thing with red meat. The human body, as well as what you have read will behave differently at age 50 than at age 40. Will behave differently at age 30 than age 40. Take your own test and you will probably come up with your own unique expereinced. You are a moron for taking me too literally.

Don't confuse being taken literally for being taken seriously.

Pure poppycock. Your stomach empties overnight because of a little process called digestion, aided by peristalsis. In the morning, the stomach has contracted and there's nothing in it, so the stretch receptors in the lining of the stomach don't signal. If the stretch receptors don't signal, that's a sign that the stomach is empty.

Just like you can be addicted to alcohol, you can be addicted to food.

More bull. You ever see someone at Weight Watchers go through withdrawal symptoms? I didn't think so.

Hold the phone, this is where science intercepts common sense. If you ate a full meal before bed, and you wake up in the morning hungry. How do you deduct that your stomach is empty? You got a gut full of digested food, your stomach ain't empty. You go try to put food on top of food and your stomach going to say, what the f@ck! Where am I suppose to put this? I guess i'm going to have to store it over here as fat until you get rid of the sh!t you ate the night before. I'm just breaking it down in laymen's terms...I'm old schooling it for you.

Oooohhhh you are soooo wrong. You should try to stop eating for awhile, fast for awhile. Your body will go thru some withdrawl symptoms you will not believe. Equal to that of alcohol or drug withdraw symptoms. You go without food too long, you will go crazy for any type of food. You would even entertain eating bugs or worse. Food is like a drug that we can't do without.

In other words, you're burning fewer calories, which leads back to what I said.

While I think there's probably some merit to this, there's still no medical consensus on this subject.

Health and Fitness Tips: Lose Weight By Eating More Often!

Seem counterintuitive?

Probably, since most of us have been conditioned to associate weightloss with starving, or at least with eating as little as possible.

Surprise! The perfect diet for weight loss and maintenance is based on 5 or 6 sensible meals.

Women in particular have been socialized to believe that eating less is the only way to achieve weight loss. Do you struggle to “be good” by starving throughout the day only to lose control and binge at night? This overwhelming hunger is actually an inevitable reaction that has nothing to do with a lack of willpower. In fact, depriving yourself of food all day in the hopes of controlling your weight will always be a losing battle.

When you skip meals, your body reacts like it did way back when we were living like the Flintstones.

Your body gets this signal when you don’t feed it often enough: “Uh Oh! That lazy-*** Caveman Clod didn’t hunt down any grub today – we’re gonna starve!”

Your body is infinitely intelligent - it reacts to what it senses is an imminent famine by slowing down your metabolism so that it can hang on to its existing fat stores and essentially go into hibernation, so that it burns as few calories as possible.

Today, we have no problem getting quick calories. One drive-thru burger, fries and shake at Carl’s Junior is all it takes to meet our entire daily caloric requirements. However, our bodies retain this ancient, protective reaction and it can really hamper weight loss if we try to circumvent our own wiring.
Eating More Frequently Protects Lean Muscle Mass

Another reason it is imperative to eat frequently is that when we do not eat often enough the body runs out of fuel to burn and then turns to muscle as a fuel source. If this catabolic state sounds a little like cannibalism it’s because that’s essentially what it is!

We know that the more lean muscle we have, the higher our metabolism and the more calories we burn. Don’t skip meals! Don’t sacrifice your muscle!
Several Small Meals Help You Reach Weight Loss Goals

Eating 5-6 sensible, smaller meals a day accords with our genetic programming and is crucial to maintaining energy levels and boosting metabolism.

But don’t go getting your Nabisco “snack packs” all lined up in a row quite yet. I am talking about several PROPER (in both content and portion) meals and snacks - combinations of protein, healthy fats (olive oil, peanut butter, avocado) and complex carbohydrates.

For example, a perfect snack is a small apple, a slice of whole grain bread with a tablespoon or two of all-natural peanut butter.
Eat Up!

Based on what I've read, you know nothing about either.
