If you are still gaining weight despite all your attempts at diet and exercise, it may be due to secret nighttime nibbling caused by a peculiar, potentially dangerous sleep disorder.
Sleep-Related Eating Disorder
A nocturnal nightmare: Dr. Oz sounds the alarm on sleep eating. Dr. Scott Eveloff joins Dr Oz in explaining to everyone sleep eating disorders. Some people don't just dream about gorging themselves with food, they actually do it while they are sleeping and don't even know their doing it.The world of the sleep eater gets out of bed, still asleep and make their way to the kitchen and gorge. They could fry up a batch of bacon and eggs, eat a bag of chips, some bring snacks back to their bed, and all binge as if they have eaten in days.
This disorder strikes women more then men, this disorder is more dangerous than it looks. Dr oz says some sleep eaters will devour just about everything in their path. The biggest problem is serious and mystifying weight gain. The result of eating unhealthy foods all night long.
Often a sleep eater is on a restricted diet through the day which leaves them hungry when they go to bed. Sometimes prescription sleep medications may be the culprit.
Dr Oz 's guests today says it is embarrassing, and you are shocked and can't believe your doing it. Anna couldn't believe she was getting up through the night and eating, but found out through night camera's. She lost 60 pounds in three months, when she had it under control with regular eating and exercise. One time she had tried to eat a steel wool pad.
Diana has gained who also suffers night eating syndrome has gained 35 pounds over the last seven years, and feels like she has an alter ego that comes out at night. She struggles with dieting through the day eating well balanced nutritious food, but only to get up through the night and raid the fridge and cupboards. Her son hid his candy on her so she couldn't find it and eat it on him.
Dr Scott Eveloff says this is treatable with specific medications. There are no medications specifically designed for treating SRED or NES per se, many patients have found certain antidepressant and anticonvulsant drugs helpful. In many cases there will be a period of trial and error before the right medication or combination of medications are found. When doctors don't believe you and laughs at you, it just adds shame and feeds into the whole stress factor, which leads back to the behaviour.
Nighttime sleep-related eating disorder (SRED) is classified as parasomnia, a category of sleep disorders that cause a person to do unusual things during sleep such as sleepwalk (somnambulism), scream (night terrors) and wriggle about (periodic limb movement disorder).
People with SRED appear to be sleeping, but get up and make a beeline to the kitchen. The mechanism that controls wakefulness and sleep during a normal sleep cycles fails, a person can remain "asleep" but continue to walk, eat, or perform other activities (some people get in their cars and drive!). And paradoxically, SRED can also be brought on by certain sleep medications, which some people take to help them fall and stay asleep.
Night-Eating Syndrome
Another nocturnal nuisance is night-eating syndrome (NES). This problem is a little different from SRED and may technically not be a sleep disorder, but an eating disorder instead. Many people with NES however have trouble falling or staying asleep, a symptom of insomnia.People with NES can consume up to 50% of their daily calories at night. They wake in the morning full and satiated and often skip breakfast.

Dr Oz The Secret Reasons You Can't Lose Weight
Dr. Oz discusses some of the lesser-known organs that could be sabotaging your weight loss. Do you know what your islet of langerhans is and what it does? How about your zona fasciculata? Watch this clip to learn how they could be affecting your weight-loss goals in the game "What does that do."
Aurora and Patty joined Dr oz in this segment of the show to name the body part that may be the reason why you can't lose even a pound.
1. The first secret reason why you can't lose a pound is called "The islet of langerhans." The islet of langerhans are the cells in the pancreas, that release insulin into the blood stream. It's the insulin that's released into the blood stream that's so effective in regulating our blood sugar. Dr oz says that why it is a bad organ to have problems with when your gaining weight.
2. The other body part that could be the secret reason you can't lose a pound is called zona fasciculata. The zona fasciculata is located just above your kidneys, it's the adrenal glands. We secrete a hormone called cortisol which actually puts weight on you, which is why it could be a problem.
