## Resource

If you feel in control all day but lose it at night, this episode explains why—and it’s not a discipline problem. Mikki breaks down the physiology behind evening hunger, showing how under-eating earlier in the day, low protein intake, and unstable blood glucose create a cumulative energy deficit your body is wired to correct. She explores the roles of key appetite hormones like ghrelin, leptin, GLP-1, and PYY, along with the impact of stress hormones, cognitive fatigue, and circadian rhythms. This episode reframes nighttime hunger as a predictable biological response, not a personal failure. Mikki also outlines practical strategies—like front-loading protein, structuring meals, and avoiding the “save calories for later” trap—to help regulate appetite and reduce evening overeating. Key Highlights Why under-eating during the day drives nighttime hunger The role of protein, GLP-1, and satiety hormones How blood sugar dips and stress hormones amplify cravings Circadian biology and why appetite rises in the evening Practical strategies to stabilise hunger and prevent overeating Contact Mikki: https://mikkiwilliden.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutrition https://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/ https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nz Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz , www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.com Curranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order
