    If this happens, I usually just go to bed and sleep - works every time.
    If you can't sleep, drinking tea helps. Try distracting yourself with something that really interests you.

    I usually just sip on water and look through my inspirational photos on my phone >< or I'll pull up blogilates on my Xbox and do some of that until it makes me tired then I fall asleep ^^

    I am on the Visalus shakes, the main reason I like them is they help me over come my cravings cause I can make them taste like some of my Favorite things, for around 200 calories. I also try to drink a lot of water

    Try having Casien protein powder shake before bedtime. Its slow digesting so it will also help keep your metabolism going while keeping lean muscle growth. I try to take the casien shake at 9pm at the latest also.

    Have a bedtime snack you eat right before bed at a certain time.. then you have something to look forward to.

    Glass of milk, handfull of nuts, or for me I have a piece of toast with peanut butter.. I'm suspected hypoglycemic though and its the only way I don't wake up at 2am drenched in sweat and freezing cold

    I schedule my workouts at night to avoid this problem.

    Try drinking water and eating sliced pineapples. They're low in calories and sweet/tangy....might help with the cravings!! Good Luck!!:devil: :smile:

    I have this problem too. I have found that make a protein shake with some fruits and almond milk helps immensely!! In fact, I'm having one now to calm down my cravings. My shake has a cup of almond milk, a few handfuls of spinach, and a cup of strawberries. The powder I grabbed Is Eas lean 15. All together the shake is under 250 calories

    I think scheduling a late-night snack might be a good idea, because then you don't have to worry about cheating.

    A lot of the time I'll just go to bed (if it's a reasonable hour). I often get cravings just because I'm bored.

    Mine doesn't keep me up. I just looked at my diary. With all the stuff I put in mine, it's exactly at 250 calories. I like to get the extra nutrients in my smoothies
