Avoid eating late at night because
loading up on calories right before bed
only intensifies the challenge of not
overeating. There’s less chance for you
to be active and burn off those calories
until next morning. It’s better to eat
during the day so that your body has
plenty of time to digest the food before
you go to bed.
Here are suggestions if you often find
yourself battling the late-night munchies.
-Make sure you eat three good meals
during the day, including a good
breakfast. This will help reduce the
urge to snack late at night, simply
because you won’t be so hungry.
-Don’t keep snack foods around the
house that may tempt you. If you get
late-night munchies, eat fruits,
vegetables or other healthy snacks.
-Find something else to keep you busy
in the hours before bedtime, such as
listening to music or exercising. Your
snacking may be more of a mindless
habit than actual hunger.
