Night Time Snack

Members Were Sparked

I'm a firm believer in not eating after 6 pm, especially if you go to bed early ( I go about 9 ). But, if you are craving something in the late evening, there's something out there besides ice cream...or even fruits & veggies: treat yourself to some light or fatfree popcorn. Tip:

MORE INFORMATION:
For the butter lover, add some Fat-free, Calorie-free Parkay. It is a great alternative and you won't feel guilty!

Snacking at night

This tip was given to me from another SP member and wanted to share. Like many of you, I eat well all day, but can't fight the urge to snack at night ! Instead of fighting it, work WITH it. Keep a bowl of cut veggies in the fridge for night-time snacking. My downfall is chips and dip, so I dip the veggies in salsa and get the same "crunchy snack" satisfaction and pack in more veggies for the day!

Do NOT watch Food Network at night!

It just makes me want to cook & eat everything they are making, or at LEAST snack along with them (& night-time snacking is a BIG no-no for my weight loss program!).

If you *must* watch something food-related on late night TV, stick with something gross like reruns of Andrew Zimmern's "Bizarre Foods"... Watching him munch on bugs & rotten fruit supports my weight loss goals by acting as a very effective (and SAFE!) appetite suppressant!

Nightime Eating

If you are like me and get hungry at night here is what I do. I plan out my food in my nutrition tracker and always leave just enough for a night time snack which is a bowl of cheerios. That satisfies a craving if you re really hungry and has no guilt attached because it fits in your tracker.
