Eating late at night

It tastes better at night there is no reason to stop.

Drink a tall glass of water.

overcome the urge by getting away from the kitchen/fridge and going to bed. most people eat because they are tired.

Who says it’s unhealthy to eat late at night? This is a total myth and makes no sense. If you eat your heaviest meal of the day just before going to sleep, you’ll sleep like a baby and your digestive system will be able to focus 100% of whatever energy is required to slowly digest what you ate in an undisturbed, stress free way which is impossible to do when your awake.

About 10 Years ago, I trained myself not to eat at night. It was extremely difficult. Some nights I went to sleep very hungry, but I didn’t give up. (Once you sleep you forget!)

By now, not eating at night comes so natural to me, that I don’t even think twice about it. I can’t even look at someone who eats late at night!! I do cheat here and there, but overall, I have no urge to eat after supper.

(And I’m still 20 lbs overweight :()

I just had some brown rice & tuna salad @ 11:30pm.

(and I’m laying on a bag of frozen cauliflower…. but that’s another story!)

always i would love to hear that other story, are u ok?

I work night and often don’t get around to eating supper until 11 pm. I’m usually starving by then so I eat more than I would eat otherwise.

Daas- heh heh!

C’mon, the cheating days are only if I have something crazy good to eat which I can’t resist (like choco!).

i think the best way to stop it to put in a bite plate if you have one!

although i cant say i never eat some chocolate with a good book at night! and for girls, think about what you want to wear tomorrow and if you have to fit into it 🙂

Just eat and don’t think about it.

Find its hardest when come home from a simcha.

leftover from supper is there and after dancing it looks very tantilizing!!

It works great for me I cannot look at food after five miles on a Treadmill

From Medicine.Net:

“Does eating later in the day really cause you to gain weight? At what time of the day should I stop eating?”

Answer:

“It is possible to gain weight by eating later in the day, but not for the reason that most people think. You have a set number of calories that your body needs to maintain your current weight. If you stay within your calorie requirements, your weight will remain the same. When you take in more calories than your body needs, you gain weight. This will happen regardless of when you consume those calories. Let’s say that you can eat 2,000 calories a day and your weight remains the same. If you consumed extra calories at any time throughout the day, you will gain weight from those calories, not from the time of day that you consumed them. The reason that people say that we gain weight from eating at night is because most people consume a lot of calories at this time. Many studies have showed that people report that the hardest time of day for controlling their food intake is between dinner and bedtime. So, the reason you would gain from eating at this time is because you ate too many calories, not because your body doesn’t process them in the same way.

If you find that you are eating a lot in the evening, it may be beneficial to select a time to stop eating and to set a plan for what you will eat. Take a look at what time you have dinner and decide how much food is reasonable for you to have between then and bedtime. Select the food(s) that you will be allowed to have and when you will have them. The more that you plan ahead for this, the easier it will be to do.”

s2021- I don’t know why you should feel better, because that midnight snack you ate is probably over your calorie limit for the day!
