- Avoid Late Night Eating

Eight tips to change bad habits

Be sure to eat three well balanced meals during the day and allow yourself several (2-3) low calorie snacks between meals. Dieters often eat too few calories during the day and then start bingeing late at night. Be sure to eat a well balanced breakfast and try eating the majority of of your calories before 7pm and do not eat anything 3 hours before bedtime.
When the urge hits you to eat late at night, instead make it a point to drink 1 to 2 cups of water or a favourite sugar free beverage. You will more than likely still be hungry after this but remind yourself that you feel hungry late at night due to your practice of eating late or it is because your mind thinks it needs to eat again. Breaking this practice is like learning to quit smoking and takes willpower and support. Write a reminder on your pantry, refrigerator or wherever else needed; include your weight loss goals and how many pounds you want to take off and in large letters write something like: The key to losing weight is to put an end to my late night eating habits!
Don’t purchase your favourite junk food items and avoid late night bingeing by getting rid of all high calorie foods. Instead of eating junk food, suck on a piece of sugar-free hard candy or go for a sugar-free jell
TV can be hazardous to your health! If your favourite TV serious is aired too late at night, try recording it so you can watch it earlier in the evening. It is easier to start over eating at night when you are sitting down watching the television. Keep physically active by working on a favourite hobby and giving in to your old habits of inactivity. Watching your favourite fast food ad on TV can unknowingly trigger the impulse to eat and being bored can be one of the biggest dangers to late night eating.
Journal it! Have a written copy of your diet plan close by, and this will be a huge help in keeping your weight loss goals at the forefront of your thoughts. This will allow you to see your progress, as you begin to see your late night eating practice begin to improve and your weight go down.
Keep Yourself Busy! Mix up your daily routine and get physical! You’ve already decided that it’s time to lose those extra pounds and get healthy; now it’s totally up to you to be proactive about your late night eating habits. Have you heard that on average it takes 6 weeks to break a habit and begin a new one? Put some action behind beginning a new healthy lifestyle and stick to it until it becomes a new lifestyle for you. Once you see and feel the difference it makes in your health and fitness, you will be even more motivated and your self esteem will begin to soar!
Having a lite snack is okay, but check the nutritional value on what you eat or you may regret it later. Try not to snack while in a car, but rather take the time to be aware of what you are eating and enjoy it. Yep I said it; occasional snacks that are low in fat are okay. I enjoy low calorie snacks and my favourite treat is 1-2 scoops of sugar free butter pecan ice-cream on Sundays. Decide on a favourite snack and see if you can find a low calorie or sugar free version of it. Just remember though that even if the snacks are low fat, they may be loaded full of salt! Just because the label reads that it is low fat or low in carbs doesn’t mean you can eat three times as much. It’s okay to enjoy it but Do Not over do it!
