Starving at night.

What the eff is this all about?
I have a rather low caloric goal (1,400 or so) but the night cravings are out of control.
I don't know how to make them stop.
Is there a supplement, a drug, anything I can do to make my evening ravenousness go away?
It's like my body refuses to go into sleep mode unless I eat something before bed, and I have to stop because I know how terrible it is for weight loss.
When I was younger I was able to deflect cravings like crazy while dieting and now it has become a constant source of agony.
Please help.

Hello, I used to have the same problem .. People on here will tell you to drink water or eat an apple but realistically it doesn't suppress for longer then half an hour. I started looking for something a while back and i now use Coffee Bean extract. It really does work. I can eat well all day and in evening BOOM! i would eat rubbish due to my apatite going into overdrive. I take one early evening and im NEVER hungry at all until the next day (around dinner time) - There natural so have no side effects either.

Plus there cheap - try em, you wont regret it.

It does not work.

Yeah, if you are hungry, just eat something. Maybe a handful of nuts or a spoonful of peanut butter. It will help you sleep but won't hurt your weight loss.

Reported for having an opinion - Grow up!!

I would go with "reported for schilling".

I have the same problem. I just make sure I've got enough calories left after dinner for a healthy snack, because I KNOW I'm going to need it around 11pm. I've always heard, "It's okay to eat before bed, just don't OVEREAT before bed." I feel like, if my body is telling me "no seriously, I'm going to make you extremely uncomfortable until you put food in me" I should probably eat something.

1) there is no compelling evidence that they aid in weight loss and none that shows it acts as an appetite suppressant (other than just coffee, which the OP said she did not want)

2) just because something is natural, it does not mean that there are no side effects. Point in case:

"Green coffee extracts, supplemental or food products, may cause a respiratory response indicative of allergens.[15] Occupational type I allergies have been noted to be associated with Green Coffee dust, which may be due to the presence of a 'Cof A 1' allergin.[16]"

Eh. I get hungry if I go to bed late relative to my last meal. Like I'll probably go to bed at 1. I ate dinner at 5:30 and had two lace cookies in between.

I just ignore it and keep procrastsleeping.

It's probably just a psychological adjustment for you. Eat closer to bed time if it's a big problem.

Don't take the coffeebean thing.

Forum full of robots.

Well... That escalated quickly.

Part of the problem might be stomach hyperacidity which feels like hunger. You could try an over the counter antacid at bedtime. I've had to do that many times. See if that helps.

Dont worry, Im off - Not hanging around somewhere that you have to be a vet in order to able to help. Some people want straight forward ways to help burn exrta fat or suppress appetite. Not everyone wants to be told to write down everything and do this and do that. Some people want a simple answer. This stuff worked for me so i shared simple! isnt that the whole point of a DEBATE forum? to debate whats best. Not to single out one person and tell them that there opinion isnt good enough for the forum. Shame on you all!

protein and fat can help. make sure you have an evening snack that includes both. as far as pills go I don't know of one that helps at night. If you have binge eating disorder is 1400 calories a little low? For me personally if i go under 1500-1700 calories i sleep walk and walk up with food in my bed blah!

Nice rebuttal!

Debate...I am not sure you know the meaning of the word. Your responses are a far, far cry from a debate.

Try switching up your eating times to see if it helps with the hunger at bed time. Maybe 5-6 smaller meals a day. Maybe shifting your meals to later in the day (if you're like me and work until midnight most nights). Find foods for 200 calories or less than you can use for your late night snacks--cereal with skim milk, yogurt and granola mix ins, oatmeal cookies, etc. (foods that are lower in fat are easier for the body to digest). One of my favorites is a fruit smoothie before bedtime. Even if I mix in some greek yogurt and protein powder, they're still only about 230 calories and very filling.

You don't need a supplement. Most of them (not all, but most!) are garbage. And even if they do work, only work short term which basically defeats the purpose. What I do is spread my cals out over the day to always include an evening snack. If you're at 1400, that means you could do 350 at your main meals and then still have 350 leftover for snacks. Have one lighter snack during the day and leave some cals in the evening for that snack you need to keep you in line. I like yogurt with berries, a couple of cookies and hot tea, a few slices of turkey and some cheese, or hot chocolate, etc. If your meals are full of veg and fruit, good fats and adequate protein, and you're drinking water, then that should help you feel full and you can have a couple of cals left over at the end of the day to ward off the munchies. You could even go so far as to only spend a couple of hundred cals at breakfast and lunch and save the majority for an evening snack and dinner. Just keep playing with the numbers and the food and eventually you'll get what works.

When i'm really hungry at night, I toss some frozen veggies into a skillet, cook until done and eat that with a just tish of salt and a cup of warm camomile tea.

Yum, I would try that with a dash of soy.
