Munchies at night
OK, I posted a message to get some support a month ago. It says that over 300 people have viewed the messages, but no one is responding.
Please help me out here. I do great all day long. I have a morning
shake that I make with the delicious "Whey Healthier Protein Meal".
I mix it in my blender with a little bit of cranberry juice, some soy or rice milk, and a banana. Then for lunch I have either an egg omelet with lots of veggies or leftovers from dinner. My dinner consists of a small amount of meat for protein, rice, and veggies. I am gluten sensitive, so I don't do bread or pastas. But in the evening, I blow it, by munching and taking quick trips to the frig - even though I munch on healthy things like nuts - I know
I am ruining all of my healthy diet of the day. Any ideas to keep me
out of the kitchen in the evening? KarenT
That's a tough one. I've been there. Unfortunately, my current solution is to be taking a nighttime medication before which I can't eat for 2-3 hours. That effectively shut down my snacking, but I can't recommend it to others. :D
Have you tried the tooth-brushing trick? After you've finished dinner, brush you teeth. You don't want to ruin that minty-fresh feeling with nuts or whatever.
Other suggestions would be to avoid doing things where it's easy to snack, like watching TV or reading. Do things that take two hands, or that get you away from food, like going for a walk or to the gym.
I think once you get the habit broken then you won't have to keep re-arranging your life like this. You'll have a new habit. :)

Thanks Betsy. Those are great ideas.
I live in a condo where my kitchen, dining room,
living room, and desk are all on the same area.
Perhaps I could move my desk area to an upstairs
bedroom - thereby - keeping me away from the
kitchen! It's all about self control!
