Oh! I also sometimes get a real burst of energy after dinner, and a workout at that time can be a lifesaver! Otherwise--as ridiculous as this must sound--I will resort instead to snacking in order to LOWER my energy level enough for sleep. I may bookmark this post so I can refer back to it if I ever wonder why I have such…

This is my most fragile time of day! For me, a late night snack can easily turn into a late night binge. If this isn't a problem for you, I think all the above suggestions are great. A bit of dry oatmeal is also a good one if you don't think it's weird to eat dry oatmeal :) I really like how consciously I have to chew it,…

Yes, the old program had a very low daily points allowance if you were within sight of your goal, but that's why the weekly points worked so well. I ate every single one, every…
