What to do about late night hunger

Recommended Posts

What should I do about the hunger pains that set on after 9 at night. This is the time when all I want to do is raid the fridge, and that will ruin the whole days diet.

 

Drinking water then does not help a bit.

I'm the same as you.

 

Stay away from carbs, try only lean protein if possible. A whole skinless chicken breast or fillet of fish, etc.

 

Water also doesn't help - I drink a lot of black herbal tea (no sugar).

 

At a certain time if I'm not confident of holding out, I get up and go brush my teeth. Mentally it helps settle the mind that snack time is over.

The teeth brushing might work. My wife might thin k I am insane if I cook chicken at 9. I think part of the problem is that we eat early. My kids are still small so we all eat at 6.

 

I'll try the nuts to. But once you start.....

Agree on protein shake - pure protein, not one of those meal replacement things.

 

Do some research on nuts and dried fruit. You might as well just tuck into a steers burger and chips with all the calories in them.
