    I curb my temptation by eating a snack!

    I am a nightowl and get hungry at night as well. I just save up calories for a nightly snack.

    Late night eating is okay as long as it isnt sugary refined carbs.

    I eat a popsicle. They are only 35 calories! Or 100 calorie popcorn.

    I didn't have this problem until recently and I've been at this since last July! I try to do some healthier snacking like fruits or veggies, but it seems my late night cravings wanna be for junk like chips or sweets! I'd love some good ideas as well.

    Cereal is the best bet for me, Cheerios with skim milk. I struggle with nighttime eating in a major way! I used to keep snacks in my room, but I cant even trust myself!

    I save up enough calories for late night snacking as I sometimes have a hard time getting to sleep and I'm always hungry when I can't sleep...usually a nice salad with fruit to curb the sweet tooth!

    Like the kiddies do ... drink a glass of warm milk, brush my teeth and put myself to bed. Brushing my teeth seriously helps...never really ever feel like sullying minty breath by eating.

    I use 3-5g of Pysilium husk with 2 glasses of water before bed, it works great for me.

    I work second shift, so I end up eating a snack when I get home from work at midnight. Water with lemon and those 100cal packs like chips ahoy or ritz work. Although there are nights I want to indulge in big bowl of ice cream after a stressful day at work.

    Seriously, people, there's this book y'all should read. It's called GO THE F* TO SLEEP!

    hitting the sheets by 10p every night will help your weight loss in more ways than you realize :)

    When I reach an hour past which I don't want to eat, I brush my teeth and then floss. I hate flossing so I'm not going to screw it up by eating. I don't want to have to do it again! ;-)

    I've gotten much better about this than when I started this journey. Now I tend to eat more during the day and don't get the late night munchies like I used to. When I did here are a few things I tried. A handful of nuts and a large glass of water. Canned green beans and a large glass of water. A dill pickle with you guessed it a large glass of water. 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese.

    I workout after work before dinner. So I have started having a protein shake right when I get home around 6:30 - 7:00 pm from my workout then start preparing dinner. I'll still eat my normal dinner about 45 minutes to an hour after I've had my shake7:30 - 8:00 pm. This tends to keep me satisfied for the night. I hope you find something that works for you.

    I brush my teeth and floss and I go to sleep. My hubby is a night snacked so I try to stay out of bed until he is done.

    Despite the tone of this post I agree with you!! I go to bed about 10pm every night, read till I get sleepy and then go to sleep. I often get up earlier than needed in the morning as a result but then I'm allowed to have breakfast so it doesn't really matter!
