How do you curb those evening/night cravings?

Go to bed earlier......just kidding.

Oh, but sweet milky tea helps, too.

I chew a piece of gum...or brush my teeth with mint toothpaste; nothing tastes yummy after brushing with mint:)

Actually, that's exactly what I do. . . go to bed. Getting more sleep is better for weight loss anyway. I wake up at the same time every day of my life, so if I want more sleep, I have to go to bed earlier. And then I can't eat. So that's double good.

I go to sleep wake up a couple of hours later and look out It's time to raid the refrig or cabinets. My wife swears I'm a sleepeater. Lately I try to have a bowl of cereal. gonna to try a new strategy tonight and try water first and doing a glass of Whey protein before bed.

Every once in a while if the craving is bad, I will have a Crystal Light packet in my water. I normally drink water only, so CL tastes pretty sweet to me.

Hot Water, my body thinks it got soup.

LOL- Cruel joke on your body!

If you have tried shaking the habit and still can't, just work with it. Just eat less in the morning and at lunch. As long as you are in a caloric deficit, you will still lose. I eat the vast majority of my daily calories in the afternoon and evening.

Go to bed earlier......just kidding.

HAHAHAA!! As mean as that sounded, it's true.
I hate it when I do good for the day but out of no where, I wanna eat something twice my intake and be so bad.
Ha, but how to control yourself is the hardest question.

Diet soda, water, fruit (watermelon or strawberries fill me up best), veggies, tea, or I go to bed early lol.

I've been drinking water w/Crystal Light for sweetness to which I add Fiber-Sure (no taste, mixes smoothly) - I usually have it just before I leave work because the time I get home from work is usually when I'm weakest - the added fiber & water seem to eliminate cravings or desire to graze. I also go to bed at a regular time because if I stay up too late, +4 hours after dinner, I sometimes get hungry again. But, if you plan ahead, you can always work something into your plan.

This has been a constant issue and I have finally tamed it, and this has been consistant for many months.
At night straight after dinner I have a LARGE cup of tea and two arrowroots biscuits. I find coming straight from dinner this really fills me up and keeps me satisfied for the evening. If I do have problems later on I eat some sultanas or an apple, that seems to settle it. I stay up late as well till about 11 and this still works.

I have always loved desserts but I have finally concluded that when I eat dessert I have more cravings in the evening so I don't eat dessert anymore but have my tea and biscuits instead.

So thats my tip.

cottage cheese

Quaker Carmel rice cakes. Sweet tasting but only 50 cals.
Quaker Chocolate rice cakes. Great choco fix with only 60 cals.
Sugar free fudge cycles (get the half-bar ones), 40 cals per 1/2 bar.
Sugar free & fat free hot coco mix, 20 calories

Sometimes eating protein will help distract me. I will eat a hard boiled egg with salt/pepper, or 1/2 c. fat free cottage cheese.

I just face the fact that I like a late evening snacks, and arm myself with low calorie choices. (Some of my choices have artificial sweeteners, which you might not eat. But for me, I use it as a tool.)

I find I HAVE to save calories for a late night snack. I can't sleep on an empty stomach. I love having greek yogurt or air popped popcorn as a snack. It's also a good time to get my fruits in with an apple and peanut butter or banana and pretzels.

I used to binge late night because my husband is a night worker and I am alone at night (emotional eater). Some nights all I can do is go to bed before I binge on everything in the house. It's real easy to eat more calories than my workout that day.

I can also relate to calling it a "demon". Keep at it and the sugar snack habit will turn into a healthy habit snack. Good luck.
