Healthy all day but struggling with late-night snacking?
It's a common challenge for many parents.
Let's explore some tips to curb those evening cravings and stay on track. 🍫🌙
- First, tell yourself that you don't need a snack, you can eat breakfast in the morning. (This is generally the best approach, especially if you're trying to lose weight. Assuming you don't have a super-unhealthy breakfast, of course).
- If you're someone who wakes up hungry in the middle of the night, then don't go to bed hungry at all! Make sure to eat a fairly healthy snack 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 bed such as nuts, fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, or some combination of these! (Personally my favorite snack is cottage cheese with blueberries)
- This may sound obvious, but don't keep unhealthy snacks in the house! 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸, you're thinking "I have kids, I can't deprive them of sweets and treats." Okay, then buy those sweets and treats in very small amounts, so there is 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 enough of it for them, nothing left over for you to eat at 3AM!
Hope that helps!
