    That's around when I have my nightly protein shake. Low carb, low sugar, pretty low in calories even. And tends to curb my sweet tooth. Otherwise maybe a piece of string cheese or some yogurt.

    YES. So much so that my room-mate looks at her watch at around eight o'clock and laughs when I announce my cravings :'D

    I do something extremely simple - brush my teeth. If you're having cravings, don't wait until bedtime. Sounds silly, but it works for me. :tongue:

    I have tried this and it does work! I will go back to that!

    I should do this too - Crest Outlast is a longer lasting mintiness, not much tastes good after that

    Frequently :frown: I have found that tea helps calm the craving but with the weather warming up I think I need an alternative. There is a recipe floating around the forum for 3-2-1 cake, it's around 50 calories a serving and very easy. I eat it semi-regularly to help my sweet tooth.

    1 box cake mix (any flavor you want)
    1 box angel food cake mix

    Combine in a gallon size plastic bag.

    Measure out 3 tbsp cake mixture
    Add 2 tbsp water

    Mix well

    Microwave for 1 minute. Top as desired (or not) and enjoy!

    I totally understand. I don't seem to get the most hungry until after 8pm which is the time I least am likely to burn any food off. I have started sipping on hot green tea which has helped or eating a low calorie snack like a dark chocolate granola thin or a fiber one brownie.

    I like a tablespoon of peanut butter or chocolate peanut butter or I like cereal. I usually eat the cereal dry or follow it with water to keep the calories lower.

    So drinking water reduces the calories of cereal? COOL! How did I miss that?

    Just kidding... I know you didn't mean it to sound like that.

    Yes! I try to avoid eating but if I can't help it I do a cup of spiced orange tea made with fake sugar, tang and spices. SOOO yummy

    I don't know about 8.30 craves...I get them all day. Currently I am addicted to crunchy oat bars. I don't think I can brush my teeth 12 times a day, good suggestion though : )

    Thanks everyone. I think tonight after i make dinner I will make a few egg quiche that i can easily reheat and have for breakfast and for these late night cravings. A quick string cheese before I brush my teeth should do the job and if it doesn't work a nice warm tea.

    You guys are awesome!

    I don't have any clever ideas, but just want to lend solidarity... I have the exact same problem! I can't tell you how many nights I've gone to bed early instead of watching TV, so that I avoid snacking!

    So far, going to sleep has been the only intervention that has worked for me, as I tend to do well all day and then lose control at night.

    I'm making sure to leave room for that kind of thing, because it happens ALL THE TIME and has killed many a new diet. I have gum hanging around, so I may try that; I've also heard brushing your teeth helps get rid of cravings. Worth a try?
