How do I stop the cravings in the middle of the night?!?

[jdosal4 4]

Today I did very good with my meals and exercised was great, felt very good! But I can't sleep right now and I'm having cravings! I don't want to eat anything, I did so great today that I don't want to ruin it! How can I avoid feeling this way? This carb withdrawal is real!!

There is nothing wrong with having some Protein as a snack before bed...If I don't eat something I wake up in the middle of the night and have to eat something....Now I plan a Protein snack around 9-10 at night...about a 1/4 of a cup will do..

Seems to be working for me..160 down.....

When I have late night cravings, I eat something high Protein - like a boiled egg or chicken breast. If I have to have something sweet, it's usually sugar free jell-o mixed with cream cheese or a Russell Stover sugar free Pecan Delight or a sugar free Popsicle.

I think it was Fiddleman that suggested it but using a Casin Protein Shake before bed helps your body heal and keeps you full through the night. I will do this or something not hard on my system like some cheese.< /p>

I think I like that idea, maybe drink a small amount of Protein shake before bedtime! Thanks!!!!

When and if you have the sleeve, the suppression of the ghrelin surge at night should help. Do you eat sweets or high-glycemic carbs? Artificial sweeteners still stimulate insulin and I know they can set me off into carb cravings.

Yep I usually drink a Protein Shake before bed it does the trick )
