don't eat after 7 pm
eat a dill pickle, even a bite or two. for some reason it makes you not wanna eat other junk/sweets.or drink a slim-fast. a couple crackers and some water will do the trick too.
Try and eat more during the day when your are moving around, instead of eating at night where it just adds on and adds on calories, just eat more during the day.
Here are a few ways that have worked for me:
Go to bed no later than 11pm.
Drink a lot of water.
Have your dinner at 6/7 and then stop after that.
eat more for dinner, just make sure your dinner is 3 hours before bed time. drink water
You need to make sure you are eating 5-7 meals during the day...Once you begin to do that you should be better about your cravings...
For dinner you should have something high in protien, that should stop the hunger pain. Two hours before you go to bed it is ok to have a snack.
Some foods make you more hungry after you eat them because they throw off your blood sugar. You can find out more about this in the South Beach diet. Also in my opininon I eat less if I eat small amounts before I get hungry maybe you are just letting yourself get to hungry at the end of the day.
Try brushing your teeth with mint toothpaste or chew mint flavored gum, in research it showed that the mint taste makes you not want to eat. It does work too. Try It!
Stay In Bed.
When you get the late nite cravings, eat some raw veggies or an apple. They satisfy the urge to chew, or get a diet bar like the South Beach meal replacement bars and munch on one of those if you are craving something sweet.
drink some green tea
Also they say that a craving lasts for a few minutes, so if u can avoid that craving it will go away.
I'll tell you, don't eat late. It is good to always have a protein shake sometime before bed. It's easily broken down and your body needs it. This way while your body is resting it's not breaking down muscle, it's using the protein as fuel. If you drink the shake, it'll be good for you as well as make you feel like you have something in your belly. You won't be hungry. Good luck to you and best wishes!
