Episode 2703

Jill Coleman explores the common struggle of nighttime overeating, explaining how willpower depletion throughout the day leads to poor eating habits. She offers practical strategies like replenishing willpower during the day and satisfying cravings earlier to prevent overeating at night.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jillfit.com/2014/01/27/nighttime-eating/

Quotes to ponder:

"Willpower is exhaustible, and at the end of a long day of just even TALKING, there’s none left."

"Often cravings are related to feelings of deprivation. When we feel deprived for a day or a week or a month, the compensatory overindulgence is inevitable."
