Are you a night eater. I am. I have found that during the day I can be very good and am not even that hungry but watch out after the dinner meal. UGH.
Evening eating in itself is not a problem but the quantity that is consumed can be.
Whatever you might be doing at night, the unconciousios eating of bag of chips, sleeve of cookies big helping ice cream can be consumed before you even know it. Then you have blown the day of good eating. On top of this the food can result in indigestion and sleep problems. Believe it not, there have been some studies that are showing overweight people sllep less hours a week than normal weight people. WHO knew?
SLEEP regulates two hormones that effect appetite one suppress your hungry while the other stimulates. So sleep people and keep this regulated.
Also you can plan activities that do not include food: take a bath
Walk the dog
play games with friends or kids
read, knit sew, craft
Plan your meals including your snacks
Try to get 7-8 hours of sleep by maintaining a regular bedtime and wake time.
Don't eat in bed
Avoid drinking and nicotine
It is not so bad to do when you continue to loose some weight and sleep better.
