Stop The Munchies

Members Were Sparked

Often when I can't stay away from snack foods, I stop and think and realize it's time to eat and fix a real meal which takes my desire for junk food away

Have Subsitutes on Hand!

Be prepared for when the munchies strike!

MORE INFORMATION:
After you have determined that you are indeed hungry, MAKE SURE you have acceptable choices on hand - healthy nuts or seeds, fruits, veggies, hard pretzels, butter-less popcorn, etc. Then you will not be tempted to consume high calories fat-laden snacks!

8 PM cut off

If you commit to stop eating at 8 pm you defintiely will cut your calories. It is important to me because I get the munchies at night and have GERD I'm supposed to stop eating 3 hrs before sleep anyway. By committing to a cut off time I kill 2 birds with one stone

Out of Sight, Out of mind... and out of my mouth!!

I have to be sure to PUT every thing UP!! If there is anything out on the cabinets, I can't resist... I walk by and have it in my mouth before I know it. If I close up all snacks, cereals, etc and put them in the cabinet, I won't open it up and eat it. But if it is out, I'll eat it.

MORE INFORMATION:
If I have the munchies, I'll cut up an apple, peal and section an orange and leave it in plane site for me to grab instead
