How do you keep from snacking in the evenings?

Get your husband one of these and the permission to taze you whenever you snack....sure that will straighten you out

Well I have this same problem and a few things I am trying is that I set an alarm on my phone that tells me to stop eating at a certain time of evening. I also clean the kitchen which makes me not want to dirty anything else. I also am trying to make sure I have an okay snack in the early evening. Currently it is SF jello with some frozen fruit in it or 1 pc. of Riesen caramel (chilled). Everyone says to have something to keep your hands busy and I have some knitting but that doesn't always work. Good Luck.

I try and save most of my calories for the evening. this week if I am low I either have veggies or air popped popcorn for a snack. or I go to bed early

I try to stay with healthier things like those 100 cal packs of microwave popcorn... I find night snacking is due primarily to
boredom for me so I try to basically get "unbored"... by getting up and doing something productive or anything engaging my hands
(reading a book, working on a project - right now making a home made Christmas Stocking) When my hands are occupied it's
pretty impossible to snack. I can work on projects and watch TV at the same time.

I don't think there's anything wrong with an evening snack, either. Keep the calories available from your daily tally and don't make it too heavy. I've enjoyed a cup of decaf green tea with honey and lemon and a couple tea biscuits, a Special K Protein Snack Bar or the new Marathon Protein Mini Snack Bars made by Snickers. This satifies me except when I want something salty. Then I'll pop a 100-calorie pop corn with water flavored with Crystal Light Raspberry Green Tea. Enjoy! And DON'T FEEL GUILTY!

I agree: popcorn is great, lowsalt and no butter. I have chewable calcium and vitamin pills (caramel flavored). I have those two sweets in the evening--giving me essential vitamins and taking care of my sweet tooth.

I floss and brush and usually have a glass of water. I also stay away from the drive-through, which my hubby unfortunately LOVES to do at night -- he only gets diet soda (which I know is awful for you), but it makes ME hungry! Good luck to you!

I have tea. Its great for you digestion, and there are so many flavors you can curb that sweet tooth with a little sweet tea (sweetened with stevia or splenda of course!)

But like people say, if you're actually hungry and have calories left over, then some popcorn or apple and peanut butter (or whatever floats your boat) isn't gonna kill ya.

In the past I have always had a cup of milk. I would always make sure that I had enough calories left and then maybe an hour after dinner, when my cravings would show up, I would drink 8 oz of 2% milk. That has always helped me.

WE make sugar free orange jello with mandarin oranges ...a big dish...and have lite cool whip to put on top in the fridge every other week. If I just eat fruit by itself....it makes me hungrier! Dont know why...but it does. We like to buy the Kroger 94% fat free popcorn. It isnt quite as good...but, it curbs the cravings. Yogurt fills me up....so I always have that on hand. We also buy the sugar free popsickle brand fudge pops that are only 40 calories for the chocolate cravings. WEight watchers has recipes for pies to make. There is an idea if you just want something different sometime. WE made the WEight watchers KEy lime pie....which wasnt bad! This past weekend...I changed it up a bit and made the KEy lime pie....but switched up the ingrediants with orange jello and orange yogurt and lite cool whip and added the mandarin oranges and we loved it! The key lime pie recipe is:
1/4 cup of boiling water....added to the small box of sugar free lime jello. Whisk it until it is dissolved. Then add 2 6 oz containers of fat free lime yogurt....whisk that in the jello. THEN....fold in the 8 oz thawed tub of lite cool whip...and put it in a reduced fat gramham cracker crust. REfrigerate for at least 4 hours until set. Then...that is a nice low cal treat for the family! Love it on Sundays.
Like I said, yesterday I changed it up a bit and followed the directions to that recipe....but, changed to SUGAR free orange jello....two 6 oz orange yoplait fat free yogurts....and then after I folded in the cool whip...added drained mandarin oranges to it....and yum!!! Just some ideas. Hope that helps and GOOD LUCK!!!! : ) : ) :
