Why Weight

Put an End to Nighttime Snacking!

By Lauren S Johnson

Almost everyone has been a victim of nighttime snacking. Some of us are driven by tasty television commercials, while others are driven by emotions or pure hunger. However, no matter what the reason may be, eating late at night can take its toll on your health and on your waistline. Not only does your metabolism slow down at night but the foods we consume during these late night hours are typically laden with calories. So what can we do in order to reduce our cravings in the midst of a late night movie?

Unless you want to increase your pant size, nighttime munchies should be eliminated from your daily diet. Not even the best diet pills can help you if you eat unhealthy late at night. That is why it is important to learn to control this awful eating habit. One of the best ways to avoid nighttime munchies is to avoid cable programming in the evening hours. It is usually the advertisements on television which drive us to the kitchen. That is why it is far better to read a book, play a board game with the kids, or even watch a commercial free DVD. And if you simply cannot miss your favorite TV show on cable, you should at least make sure to keep yourself occupied during the commercial brakes. You can engage in some light housework, do a couple of exercises, or even have a magazine handy. Simply turning down the volume during television advertisements can make a big difference, because let's face it, you may not be hungry but the delicious chocolate treat on TV can turn your stomach into a gurgling one.

Another way to avoid nighttime munchies is to curb your appetite. Some people use all natural hoodia pills to suppress their appetite, while others incorporate more fiber rich foods into their diet. So when you feel a craving coming on, instead of grabbing a bag of chips make yourself a salad or reach for a fiber rich apple. These are just a few tips to help you stay away from your kitchen cabinets late at night.
