Night time eating...

Brush your teeth?

I'm always way more tempted to eat at night - haven't really found anything that helps except brushing my teeth I guess.

This used to be me as well. A few things I learned:

1. I wasn't eating enough during the day. For me, a medium/light breakfast, a large lunch, and a small dinner stave off nighttime hunger.

2. Change your eating and studying habits. Don't eat in front of the t.v. or computer, on the couch, at your desk... or wherever you study. Try not to eat while studying. And on the flip side, don't study in the kitchen. Keep studying and eating separate, basically. And when you're done with dinner, clean up the kitchen and brush your teeth. This kind of lets your body know you're done for the day. It's harder to snack with a nice fresh mouth.

3. Drink lots of water. Throughout the day and at night. I like herbal tea while I'm up late. It's good for you, I won't drink it too fast and have to pee all night, and the sipping gives my hands something to do other than eat.

Once I realized night eating for me was mostly just a habit, I was able to break it--though it did take some mental effort. Sometimes if I'm going to be up late studying I find a place to go--library, cafe, etc.--so I won't distract myself with eating or anything else.

It also helps to have some fruit handy, if you must snack go for something like that.

I was/am still somewhat the same way.
I keep the TV OFF!!! Commercials make me hungry!
I find something to do - read a book, internet (sites like this) or cleanup, play a game with the kids - just anything to keep my mind off food.
I also don't keep a lot of food in the house that is "naughty".
I take supplements that curb the appetite.
I actually feel better and have lost weight quicker when I don't eat at night because it is not sitting there rotting toxins in to my body as I sleep = gross! I know! *lol* But when I think about it like that it kinda turns me off of eating too *lol*

I do so well throughout the day, but as soon as the sun goes down.....BAM! I can't stop myself from eating everything! I'm a full time student and prefer to stay up late into the night to study. I can't seem to study without something in my hand to nibble on. Any suggestions? I know I should be eating a large breakfast to avoid later eating, but it doesn't seem to work!!! What do you guys do to avoid the night time hungries?! Thanks

Skip the big breakfast and reserve your calories for the evening.

I usually don't eat all that much during the day and then eat a big meal before I go to sleep.

Are you actually hungry? Or is it stress/emotional eating?

A cup of peppermint tea, or some fruit may help. I like to have a big navel orange at night, or an apple as my night time sweet fix.

Last night I ate a container of chips potatoes and I´m was abslotely sleep ! I realize this morning when I wake up and see the container empty.¡¡¡ I was afraid¡¡

Don't waste calories on a large breakfast. Save some to munch on while you study. And nibble on something besides junk.
