how to avoid eating before bed time?
never even asked DH to look for them, they are dangerous sounding to me, I
do buy cookies and keep them in the freezer so they are far away, Lee ahmward wrote in message ... I'm able to stick to one package. It's a lot easier for me than counting out cookies or crackers from a larger tempting box. "Doug Lerner" wrote in message ... Those are really good. But talk about "trigger foods"! I brought a carton of them home from my trip to the U.S. The problem is I found myself on some days opening up pack after pack of them, eating 500 calories at a sitting instead of 100 calories! So I'm not buying any more for now. doug On 10/25/05 10:38 AM, in article , "ahmward" wrote: Occasionally I will save points for an after dinner snack such as the 100 calorie Nabisco cookie pack with a glass of skim milk. |

in fact I generally eat at least a point or 2 every 3 hours, Lee

What can I do to avoid eating? It's worth noting that six hours is a perfectly acceptable time for you to get hungry again. Heck, four hours is also reasonable. All it means is that your metabolism is working as expected. If you eat dinner at 6pm, go to bed hungry at midnight, and then not eat again until 6 or 7 in the morning, your metabolism may be suffering just a bit for the long delay. I'd suggest eating later. Maybe have a small meal at 6 with your family (or whatever it is you do that has you eating at that time), and then another small meal about 9 or 9:30. That way you're still not eating within three hours of your midnight bedtime (which is the limit most people favor), but you're not going 18+ hours between meals such that your metabolism slows down, either. But really, it's not surprising that the six hours makes you hungry again. I'd worry if it *didn't*. -Tay |

What can I do to avoid eating? I usually have a cup or 1/2 of blueberries (or other fruit) an hour or two before bedtime. If you buy the frozen BBs, they don't have any additives at all, and they thaw out in about a half hour or so. Hugh |

But, didn't I heard it somewhere that I should not eat anything substantical
immediately before bed? That would not only gain weight, but also, keep you awake? "Brett Johnston" wrote in message u... Plan a snack at 12pm. Eat it then straight away brush your teeth and go to bed. A snack at 9pm might be a good idea too as long as you think you can hold it at that and not trigger an overeating episode. It ain't easy and you'll probably stumble often, but if you get it right most of the time it may become habit forming. |

"Amy" wrote in message t... But, didn't I heard it somewhere that I should not eat anything substantical immediately before bed? I've heard that as well. I've also heard that sugar is evil, fat is of the devil, you should never eat carbs and protein together, and jogging is the best exercise for losing lots of weight. Did you hear that LBJ killed Kennedy? And that Neil Armstrong never really walked on the moon? And there are aliens in Roswell? You received a lot of answers from successful dieters. None of them told you to butch the **** up and not eat. Only one of then suggested going to bed earlier and that was as an aside. Consider the remote possibility that not everything you've ever heard about dieting is true. Then go back and read the responses you have already recieved. That would not only gain weight, but also, keep you awake? Don't eat things *you* know from *your* experience will keep you up. But if turkey breast dipped in honey keeps you up, please report back. -- Matthew Slow and steady wins the race. |

I don't think it matter much WHEN you eat. What matters is HOW MUCH
you eat. IMO (and it's only an opinion) you should try having a breakfast (preferably with protein), then lunch and dinner. If you prefer to have more snacks then you have to compensate by having smaller meals. There is no problem eating last thing at night, provided you don't exceed your points. Have you tried low cal chocolate just before bed instead of a snack? remember 'hunger is the pain of fat leaving the body' Ray |

True or false? eating food at any time will help you either maintain or gain weight. it's a matter of what and how much you eat, not so much when. Don't try to confuse them with logic! |
