https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/10-ways-to-stop-eating-late-at-night
Hi all
I hope this forum can remain well beyond August, as late night snacking is a major cause of weight gain and overeating. I am just getting started on actually tracking day by day success with ending the "food day" . [Night oral hygiene and considering kitchen closed by 8pm helps]
It would be great to hear more on how others are achieving success and overcoming barriers and challenges.
I included a link on evidence-based suggestions for avoiding late night eating. Anyway, it’s the doing that’s really hard.
Good luck to everyone.

You set what you feel is late night snacking. For example, if you have extra calories left for the day, you can have a snack if it's small. Others decide not to eat at a past a certain time. It's up to you.
We go by the formula:
Me: "number indicating how many evenings you stuck to it"
LNS: "number of times late night snacks won"
Example: Me: 2 - LNS: 0 indicates I won the first two nights.
Some people also add a * to the latest number. In the example, that would be
Me: 2 - LNS: 1*
if LNS won the 3rd night.
It's as simple as that. Or as complicated, as you will discover. Nevertheless, the persistence and good results of some of our "old" members (and some people keep coming back) show that the battle is worthwhile .
You will notice some people post streaks of how many days they are free of late night snacking. This is definitely not a requirement, but if you want to do it for motivation, it works well.
Welcome!
I feel like "I'm eating and I just can't stop ". Sometimes going to sleep helps, but I'm sure checking in would work better.1 -

Oops.. slipped last night but not on junk food. I don't like junk food..I like to eat too much healthy food LOL.
But too much is too much if my body doesn't need the nutrients the extra food goes to waste.no...to waist.
