Tips to Avoid Nightime Eating?



Recommended Posts

Anyone have any good times to avoid nightime eating/snacking? I always get so hungry but I would like to stop eating by a certain time.

I am awful, I don't eat much during the day and then at night I'm low on calories and have to eat. I need to stop.

Hello just from experience trying eat more throughout the day in the morning I have a shake because I don't be hungry but by lunch time I can eat a little more so I usually have what I cooked for dinner then a snack like yogurt then dinner drink Water as much as you can that have seen to help me sometimes I will have suger free popsicle or a spoon of Peanut Butter to kind of help with the night hungry but you must eat throughout the day so you won't be as hungry I hope this helps good luck.

What works for me is I give myself a manicure. Can't eat with wet nails!! The upside is I have an amazing collection of great nail polish and fabulous looking nails. I change my color several times a week. Sometimes to change it up I will do a facial while watching tv. It makes me feel pampered and less likely to snack.< /p>

First... make sure you're eating your meals regularly throughout the day. That's the most important thing to avoid being hungry late in the evening.

Second, set a time to stop eating that is 4 hours before you go to sleep. I generally go to sleep at 11:30 pm so I don't eat anything after 7:30 pm

Lastly, allow yourself something small to tide you over if you really can't stand it. Choose a calorie dense, healthy food. I like a spoonful of nut butter or greek yogurt.

Something that might help... BariWise makes some awesome hot cocoa mixed that are under 100 calories and give you 15 grams of Protein. I like to sip these in the evening if I'm hungry :)

Another thing to consider is that you might not be really hungry, just have a lot of acid in your stomach (it's uncomfortable and goes away if you eat, so I get the two sensations confused a lot). What I try to do is take a tums and see if that makes me feel better (just make sure you take your Iron early in the day or the Calcium in tums can keep the iron from absorbing).

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
