How to beat late-night snacking!

1. Eat the right kind of late night snacks
Crackers and low fat cheese, yogurt and fruit, or peanut butter and apple slices are good options. Also, vegetables like carrots and celery. I also love ice, because if you just want to fool around with something, it’s not bad for you at all, and it keeps you away from food! The point is, if you CAN’T control the binge, binge on something that won’t completely set you off course.

2. Take all unhealthy snack foods out of your house
Take away the temptation before the temptation takes over you. If you want some sweets, buy the 100-calorie packs! 

3. Drink your late-night snack
I would suggest water or tea! Even a healthy smoothie. It’ll keep your mouth busy and make you feel a lot more satisfied.

4. Keep yourself busy!
When you’re occupied, you’re a lot less likely to think you want food, just out of boredom. When i get “bored” and eat in response, I just munch on some ice cubes or carrots.

5. Think about tomorrow.

Will I regret this? What are my goals? Review what you are aiming for, and decide whether or not it will hurt you and your plans - or find an alternative that won’t!

6. EAT!
If you haven’t eaten all day, then you are bound to be more likely to crave and cheat at 10 pm. Make sure you eat well-balanced meals throughout the day! Oftentimes, 6 small meals a day prevents the late night binges, and keeps you steady with your daily calorie goal!

7. Trick yourself - Brush your teeth before your bedtime!I personally hate the taste of food after I’ve brushed my teeth - and I really don’t want to go through the whole brushing process again, just because I’m hungry for more. It leads me to want to wait until morning, instead of binging at night! If you do end up eating something late night, and don’t want to eat more, just brush your teeth - you won’t want another cookie after that!
