Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004suggestions please!
Hi Am finding that I crave snacks at night. This is probably because my traditional midnight snack was cereal or toast. Seems a hard habit to break. What goodies do you keep handy for these evening snacks? Self-discipline.  SignatureMost of us probably aren't in danger of eating too little. :) Becky P. > Hi > > Am finding that I crave snacks at night.

I am glad you are breaking that habit. It doesn't get much worse than eating cereal for a late night snack. You might as well have had a bunch of ice cream. I snack on cheese, left-over meat, pork rinds, beef jerky and the like. curt > Hi > > Am finding that I crave snacks at night.

If you are hungry, tough it out. Drink some water. You won't die from being hungry for a couple of nights. Like you, I was a night time snacker. Then I decided to not eat after 6pm (which makes it convenient for me to eat dinner after I get home from work). Had a few hungry nights (maybe 3-4) and after that, I am never really hungry at night anymore, and it has been 9+ months since Igave up night time eating. Somehow some people (which included me a year ago) think that being hungry is such a terrible thing that even being temporarily hungry for a few hours should be avoided at all costs. I think that it is bullshit. This assumes that you are basically a relatively healthy person who is not suffering from some horrendous hypoglycemia or any other special condition. i 223/173/180 SF jello. But JC has the best answer. If it's a habit that could derail you down the road, you might want to try and break it once and for all.

No more night eating, I enjoy better sleep, etc. i It's never been a problem for me. Probably because I go to bed at 9. I have a friend who's always been thin. He's in his 70's and looks great. Like you i, he never eats after 6. His motto about eating is * Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.* Sure has worked for him.

I would kill for being able to go to bed at 9pm... i > Hi > > Am finding that I crave snacks at night. This is probably because my > traditional midnight snack was cereal or toast.

I've found that drinking a glass of water helps me to feel full enough to sleep. I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee, but it's better than not being able to sleep at all or consuming food I don't need. I suppose a cup of hot non-caffenated tea would work too. SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. Go to bed at 11:30! Really, if you have this vision of losing weight...visualize those stomach growling noises as lbs leaving...it will help. When I go to bed "hungry", I'm reasonably assured that my weight will be down in the morning...as I'm actively trying to lose weight. I realize if you aren't actively trying, then that's another thing. Becky P. www.family.solidrockpl.org I snack on cheese, or stuffed celery stick with the new Carb-Smart peanut butter or cream cheese... try 5 green olives or a cheese/lunch meat roll up, hot drink and 1 oz of almonds, lots of crunch there. To fill you up at night, once in awhile, I drink an Atkins Advantage or a cup of the new low carb chocolate milk, it fills up all the cracks, but we really need to focus on no food after 8pm,. just alot of hot water, then you're up all night in the potty of course lol but you're not hungry. CHEESE is your best bet, always. > I snack on cheese, or stuffed celery stick with the new Carb-Smart peanut > butter or cream cheese... try 5 green olives or a cheese/lunch meat roll [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > the potty of course lol but you're not hungry. CHEESE is your best bet, > always. That goes for me too. If I stay up late I get hungry before bed so I usually have a nice hunk o' savory cheese waiting the refrigerator for me. I like Blarney cheese or an expensive Gouda ... very satisfying. * much thanks for your suggestions. I kept drawing a blank.. > > I snack on cheese, or stuffed celery stick with the new Carb-Smart peanut > > butter or cream cheese... try 5 green olives or a cheese/lunch meat roll [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > * |
