    I've heard that cinnamon is supposed to kick the sugar craving. Maybe try some plain greek yogurt sweetened with a little honey and cinnamon?

    Okay I've had this problem for almost 6 months straight....Then I changed my diet to much higher fat and lowered all my refined carbs (under 120g) and continued to eat the high protein that I do (100-120g) and my cravings have completely stopped for over a week..SO WEIRD but I know its the carb/fat combination because I've done everything... nuts, cinnamon, coffee, blah blah it didn't work for me...So just try upping your fats some :D

    Only thing that has helped me lately has been dark chocolate chunks with 62% cacao. I keep them in the freezer and have a few after dinner. Probably not the healthiest thing in the world, but I save some cals for them and don't overeat them like I do other sweets. After a few, I'm totally done.

    After dinner I always want a snack. My son always has a "dessert" so we make sure to have low calorie and healthy choices in the house. The Kashi Granola bars (peanutty fudge ones are awesome!). We always have dried fruit which can be a little high calorie speaking but really good nutrients. Make sure to double check the ingredients and make sure they don't use sugar. The Costco Cherries and Mango are little bits of heaven and totally cure a sweet tooth. We also have freeze dried fruit which can be 100 calories for a WHOLE bag. I recommend the apples and cinnamon. Yummy. Lastly, if we want a bit of ice cream, the Popsicle brand Fudgesicle are only 40 calories (10 if you get the sugar free) and are wonderful.

    Hope any of this helps and good luck!

    Sounds like there are a lot of us with this same issue! :) I like to eat at night, too. I also happen to not be into breakfast most mornings so I will just have a cup of coffee or tea and some fruit. I try to keep lunch around 500 or so calories and then in the evening I can eat a full and satisfying meal and have a snack!

    For me, it's also true that I have to give into cravings. I have not denied myself anything reasonable in the last few months. I just keep it within my calorie goal and the weight is coming off.

    I haven't tried pisatchios yet. I think it would work the same way, the harder you have to work for your snack the more you enjoy it and the less you eat of it LOL at least that is how it works for me :)
