Same thing here. I crave sugar like crazy when I just wake up, doesn't matter if it's from sleep or a nap--could be because sleep is technically "fasting"? I'm not sure. 

I would love to participate, but it's been a while since I got up during the night for a feeding frenzy. Mine hits prior to bedtime.  

I am like ClassicRocker in that my difficult time is right before bed. Last night I resisted.  

It is a blood sugar issue - I would guess. It drops while you sleep and you wake up thinking you need to eat. I could be wrong though...a healthy fat will satiate you longer. Maybe try a handful of raw almonds before bed. 

I don't get up in the middle of the night to eat. I DO get cravings for the carbs (as much as I haven't indulged in carb binges in a couple of year, I do get them. I would much rather eat carbs than proteins and veggies any day. If I get hungry, like ClassicRocker, it's when I am in bed. Eating 1200-1300 daily is very hard for me, and I work almost 12 hour days. When I get "hungry" I only fantasize about pasta...not chicken meals, egg meals, certainly not fruit or veggies....CARBS!!! I am not a snacker either, I want a meal (a pasta meal). Which btw, I find when I used to measure a 1/2 c dry and boil it nightly, years ago, I didn't crave carbs at all. As much as they say you will not crave them after eating proteins and veggies, doesn't change my brain crave. 

it doesnt matter when the craving come, just measure your heart rate the moment you get up in the morning (*your total resting heartrate*) and write down if you had a craving that day (even if you could resist) send me your result for the next week... maybe i got something here ;) 

Shall do. 

Sure Thing!  

Maud, google "Five Tips for Coping with PMS Cravings". It might be PMS causing your cravings. Women crave sugars and especially carbohydrates (like potato chips) because the body uses carbs to make serotonin. 

will try 

Darn... I forgot this morning. I promise to do it tomorrow. Hugs Miss Maud.  

69 BPM this morning. Forgot yesterday. I am trying to avoid feeding frenzy, but if I have one will let you know. Last week I did give in a two days (one when I ate 1545 and 1810 calories).  

HI - I keep missing you on here. Not going to help with your test but I do want to wish you good luck with your experiment.  

Damn..... I did it again. Or I should say, I didn't do it. Shoot me.  

no problem guys just post here when you have a result, or should i make a group or something for it? 

3rd day in a row that I didn't do it. Not the most reliable soul lately. Sorry Maud.
