After learning this section, I learned a new term, "night anxiety".
What is "night anxiety disorder"?
The original intention is to summarize the symptoms of irritability and crying at dusk.
It also refers to the serious emotional disorder of adults at dusk. Everything is normal during the day, and at dusk, feelings of anxiety and fear begin to appear.
Biological explanation:
At dusk, hormones used to relieve stress in the human body, such as serotonin and adrenocortical hormone, begin to decrease, making people more emotional and fragile.
When serotonin (a neurotransmitter that makes us feel good) in our blood decreases, we will eat anything we can without scruple, completely ignoring their calorie content and fat content. (Emotional out of control, leading to food relief, leading to overeating, improper diet)
That is, eat fine carbohydrate-rich foods, such as cakes, biscuits, snacks, bread, French fries and so on.
In addition, spicy food can quickly make the brain secrete endorphins, which is also a neurotransmitter and can relieve stress and anxiety.
It's great to learn a diet book and medical knowledge.
Looking back at myself, my relatives around me occasionally have the shadow of anxiety at night.
In fact, it is understandable that an adult's energy is limited, and all his good state is almost exhausted in one day. In the evening, he was tired and his understanding of people and things decreased. It is the moment when he is eager to be cared for, understood and appeased, so his eyes are a bit "unbearable".
Understand this phenomenon, it turns out that this is normal.
In addition, I often hear a sentence:
You can't lose weight until you are full.
So this sentence is right, not a joke, hahaha. (full, of course, not full)
For hunger, medical research shows that it takes 15 ~ 20 minutes for the human brain to receive the signal of "full" from the stomach.
That is, whether you are full or not, the results will take 20 minutes to be announced.
I have learned a lot of popular science knowledge, which is believed to be helpful for me and my family to manage weight.
Teacher Xu Xu vividly described the process of savoring the feeling of hunger and enhancing perception, and I will stay here to savor it in the future.
0 1. Hunger caused by dieting during weight loss will induce "night anxiety", and the uncomfortable degree of that experience will instantly suppress the previous great ambitions. When you have an anxiety attack at dusk, your desire for food becomes the overwhelming first demand.
02. Some unpleasant and even traumatic experiences in the past, we habitually tell ourselves:
It's over. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Unexpectedly, the memories left by these experiences in our bodies are more stubborn than we thought, and it is not so easy to get rid of and overcome.
Sometimes, although they don't care about the level of knowledge, the painful memories suppressed in the depths of the subconscious will remind us of their existence in a surprising way.
If we don't face it squarely and solve it, it may not only be the cause of our overeating, but also an obstacle to our weight loss.
One night, driven by hunger, I once again had the strong desire to overeat.
Holding my breath, I decided not to listen to my intuition and rushed to the Sichuan restaurant. Instead, I tried to do nothing and quietly experience the feeling of hunger and the emotions that followed.
I closed my eyes and felt my stomach churning. It seems a little empty, dizzy and depressed.
I slowly ask myself:
"What's the matter with you? Besides being hungry, what do you feel? "
After waiting for a while, my heart seemed to be opened, and I felt a lot of emotions slowly gushing out:
"Grievance", first of all, is "grievance", which is almost swaggering; Then, "depression" also came out with its head down, which was conspicuous and obviously intended to make me notice it; Then, "Shame" came out shyly. Although it was inconspicuous, I recognized it. Finally, "fear" actually came out inside. Although a little reluctant, I still came out.
