    well, this is the maintaining weight forum - so presumably people are already doing whatever they are doing to successfully maintain weight - or transitioning from whatever they successfully did to lose weight.

    Meaning they are not likely to want to change whatever was working.

    Why do you want to stay away from food at night?
    I guess for some individuals that might be a good strategy - if you are prone to mindless after dinner TV snacking or suchlike.

    I eat my main meal well into the evening - about 8:00pm would be my average - and usually a snack after that, say ,about 10 pm

    NO problems with that for me - so ,no, not struggling or even trying at all, to stay away from night food.

    I'm not sure how you start a group on here - but maybe post this in introductions and look for MFP friends for motivation 😊

    What happened to the last 13? Are they like James Bonds or The Doctors (Who)?

    If I find myself being bored-snacky, I brush my teeth and rinse with a strong mouthwash. Anything I try to eat or drink afterwards (other than water) tastes yukky

    What mouthwash do you use

    I also crave food at night and it makes me gain weight easily. I can keep it to fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, a handfull of nuts, it doesn't matter. If I eat anything past 6 or so I will not lose weight or even gain weight back. Since I eat my dinner so early I am starving by the time I go to bed! Glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue.

    I’m trying for no calories between dinner and breakfast so a 12 hour fast
    Not sure if that’s considered IF but it does help with maintaining my weight

    Right now I’m up 5 lbs, from a 10 day vacation, so it’s back to HIIT Cardio


    Also love the after dinner tea 🫖
    has really helped with late night overeating

    I eat breakfast before I'm really hungry

    last night I skipped after dinner ice cream
    My daily calorie count in range, SO Celebrating in Oregon 🥳

    Today with added oils, my fat count is rising fast
    I count calories, fat, fiber
    And water, veggies

    Everyone has their on routines and mine is going well at the moment
    Enjoy your journey

    I know it's so hard not to eat at night after a stressful evening. I am going to start to write down everything I put in my mouth. I have never done that but I am going to start on Monday.

    *snip* < we'll just delete what I wrote in an effort to practice what I preach.

    I'll rephrase. It's okay to say "I'm having an issue I'm trying to resolve. Does anyone else have the same problem? Can we be friends and support each other? I need a daily boost to my resolve". It's okay to use WHATEVER tool you can find to make your path a successful one. I'm just deeply sorry you failed to find that here.

    @lakinte1 if you ever come back, you can send me a friend request. Everyone's story and struggle is different, but they're all equally valid. I have some strategies to curb cravings when they hit, and some things I've learned to employ in everyday meal planning to avoid cravings and snack urges altogether for the majority of the time. You can do this! It's not even that hard :)
