Night-Time Cravings.

Members Were Sparked

At night, when the "munchie monster" strikes I make me some hot tea & use 2 packets of sweetner. Sometimes a little honey too if I feel I've earned it. While I'm enjoying it I think of all the calories I'm saving & I feel so good about it.

Night time Cravings

When lying in bed watching T.V. I often get the night time craving. To overcome my cravings I drink a large glass of water then go brush me teeth.

24 hour rule

If I want to eat something that is not a part of my plan, I wait 24 hours. If I still want it, I allow/plan for it in the next day's meal plan. Usually, by the next day, I've forgotten about it but if not I can still have it (planned) the next day. I never feel deprived while staying in control.

MORE INFORMATION:
This is a great way to combat food cravings and night time or emotional eating....
