Late Night Snacker

For me, if I feel like that my calories, fat and protein are way too low throughout the day and carbs too high. I always eat later because of my work. But I don't feel like that unless I starved all day.

Instead of eating in front of the tv, eat at at the same table you eat dinner, and become mindful of your food. Get some books by Geneen Roth. They will help you see eating in a better way.

I had this. I started doing IF, focusing my eating in a ten hour window each day, and now I never have cravings. I eat three good-sized meals a day, the first is around 10 or 11 AM and the last one is between 8 and 9 PM. After that, no more food. The first two nights were really difficult, and I had to yoga myself out of a few headaches, but once I learned to eat slightly larger meals so that I was eating enough calories, my night time cravings mostly went away.

Every once in a while, the craving to go downstairs and have a hot cocoa or a snack does hit, but it's pretty rare and I can generally ignore it. I have some water or tea instead.

I love to eat late! LOL...but now I follow few simple rules:

1. No food after dinner
2. No eating anywhere but at dining table without TV, electronic device etc.
3. If tempted-Protein Shake (I love chocolate milkshake flavor by Quest) with 2 tbsp of flax seed really stops my cravings.

I hope this helps!

Great advice, thanks!

personally i save some calories for supper, I normally find something like special K is satisfying or if im wanting a nibble I eat it dry, its rather nice

Another one I like is low fat cheese, pickle and crackers with beetroot and pickled onions in the right quantities is low calorie and very filling x

You are definitely not alone. I have this problem from time to time also. I use a product called Liporidex and I know they have a PM formula that is stimulant free and is supposed to help with late night cravings and burning fat. I love their other products so I am sure that one is great too. You should look it up on Amazon. Also, I agree with RodaRose, try not to eat while watching tv. Another thing I do is I like to do small exercises during commercials. So you get in a few minutes of jumping jacks or wall squats while watching your favorite show.

I use their products too, love them, and the PM works PERFECTLY for helping late night snacking. I used to fall victim to this all too often. Snacking has always gotten in my way from losing weight. Now I can easily stick with my meal plan for the day and night. I have a slight sensitivity to caffeine, so this one works well for me. Not eating after dinner is much easier said than done, but I know it's what needed to be done and now I am on track.

Hiya, I save some of my calories so I can have an evening snack and something in the night, I'm up most nights due to pain and I get peckish. Sometimes I'll have a snack a jack or crispbread with almond butter and banana. Other times I might not eat but have a nice mug of hot chocolate

I save calories throughout the day so I can enjoy a glass or two of wine. I am not a late night snacker but man do I love me some wine to help me relax after a long day.

Wow I am feeling the love on here. I haven't logged into here in a while because I have been crazy busy but I will certainly be taking some of your guys advice. No food after dinner, no eating in front of the tv...great advice! I looked up Liporidex, and it looks promising and could really help me with my snacking habits. Mandy do you get your on Amazon, not sure if there is a better deal somewhere else? http://www.amazon.com/Liporidex-Stimulant-Thermogenic-Supplement-Suppressant/dp/B006VYSZBA/ref=pd_bxgy_hpc_img_y

I do get mine on Amazon, free shipping if you have prime and sometimes they do special deals there. Let me know how it goes. I am down another 3 pounds! Summer here I come!

I like to eat sweet cereals at night...I haven't had any in a few weeks..my willpower is weak!
