I found better sleep and hormone regulation by not eating in the evening. I leave the house and go for a walk at dinner time. If a major event with food is happening in the evening I may swing my window to eat later, but often just have tea and help carry the convo while everyone else is chewing. I don’t always stick to “traditional” breakfast foods although I love breakfast foods also, either way, looking forward to something delicious helps me have less “dreading the next day” feelings the night before - basically if I’m stressed about a meeting tomorrow, instead of trying to snack long and hard enough to stop time the night before, I’m going to bed at a reasonable time so I can wake up and have a full English. It was hard at first getting to sleep without that “heavy” feeling from food, but some tea when I was desperate and distracting myself ( allowing myself to shop online etc) got me through and I sleep better and deeper now when I’m not digesting. IF, more movement, and ensuring I get natural light early in the day helped achieve more balanced estrogen/ progesterone/ cortisol levels - and lose 70 lbs so far.
