Say Goodbye to Late Night Snacking

Late night snacking is a huge concern for many of the people I work with in our private groups.

We are so busy during our day; skipping meals, by the time 8pm hits, we feel ravenous.

Here are some SIMPLE ideas to stop the cycle & reach your goals!

CleanFoodCrush Tips to Avoid Night-time Snacking:

Don't let this happen to you. :)

Avoid unhealthy late night snacks.

Good HABITS and the right foods during the day will solve late night snacking:

  • Plan ahead! Take a few minutes each night preparing your favorite healthy foods for the next day
  • Eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day
  • Eat a green vegetable with every meal
  • Increase daily protein intake (some say your weight in grams of protein, especially if working out daily)
  • PLAN for nighttime eating. Break up or space your meals so that you have one at that time of night
  • Make sure to have post-workout protein shake or high protein meal within an hour after working out; helps with cravings later in the day and night
  • Eat most of your carbs earlier in the day
  • Eat more GOOD fats throughout the day
  • Eating Clean (no processed, all whole foods) helps reduce cravings at night

If you want to flat-out avoid late-night eating late at night, then:

  • Stay away from refined sugar, especially at night (increases your cravings!)
  • Close the kitchen! Clean, light-off, STAY OUT
  • Brush your teeth
  • Drink a big glass of water
  • Drink green and/or herbal teas with a squeeze of fresh lemon
  • Go to bed: read, listen to something, whatever is relaxing but stay in bed
  • Sit in the bathtub
  • Go for a walk
  • Take a probiotic at bedtime
  • Try on & pick out an outfit for the next day
  • Call a friend, call your Mom
  • Chew gum
  • Keep your hands busy: crocheting, knitting, writing, etc.
  • Check the emotions: boredom, “reward” feeling after getting kids to bed, anxiety about work left to do, etc. Identify the emotion behind the urge to snack at night, sit with it a minute, then drink a big glass of water or tea instead!
If you have to have something, try some popcorn.

Fit one or two of these ideas into your day, make it a habit, and watch what happens

If you must eat something before bed, then:

  • Scrambled egg whites with sugar free salsa
  • Protein shake: water or almond milk plus one scoop protein powder, stevia, cinnamon, Barlean’s key lime fish oil.  ( I use Jay Robb’s Protein Powder.  It doesn’t contain any sugar.)
  • Veggies like celery sticks, carrots, broccoli etc. Add 1-2 tbsp hummus, salsa, etc.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt with a tbsp of natural nut butter, a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder, a tbsp of chia seeds, frozen berries, vanilla, OR a drop of stevia (watch the adding up of calories here, can easily become high-calorie).
  • 1 cup homemade Air-popped non-gmo popcorn with a sprinkle of sea salt
  • Casein slow release shake
  • 1-2 tbsp. sugar-free nut butter
  • Roasted chickpeas.
  • A small handful of raw nuts such as almonds

Fit one or two of these ideas into your day, make it a habit, and watch what happens!

Let me know how it goes for you!
