Weight control: how to eat properly during night releases and deadlines?

Answer

Nighttime project work is often accompanied by circadian rhythm disruptions and a strong appetite. Due to fatigue, the body demands quick energy in the form of sweets and fatty foods, which instantly leads to weight gain with regular night deliveries.

To minimize the negative impact of night work on your figure, you need to prepare healthy foods in advance. Replace cookies and chips with protein bars, nuts, sliced vegetables, or low-fat cottage cheese. They will provide a long-lasting feeling of fullness and will not cause sharp blood sugar spikes.

Remove all high-calorie snacks and sweets from sight on your desk.
Keep a large bottle of clean water at hand, as thirst is often mistaken for hunger during stress.
Try to have light snacks in small portions every three hours, rather than eating all your supplies at once.

After completing a night release, it is extremely important to pay attention to a full night's sleep. Lack of rest stimulates the production of the hormone ghrelin, which increases appetite the next day, making it much harder to control the amount of food eaten.
