How to combat late night snacking?

[ALWAYSclassy]

Help I gained 7 pounds! Late night snacking is my biggest issue, it seems like I get soo hungry after 7pm. I live with other people and they are not trying to watch their weight so I am tempted with all this unhealthy food in the house. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

If the people you are living with are trying to watch their weight; maybe the first step is to get all these unhealthy snacks out of the house seen as they seem to being doing you no good either.

If the temptation is not within easy reach then you're probably less likely to go for it.

Another thing I would suggest is maybe eating slightly later - if you're getting hungry around 7pm, try having you main meal about 6:30pm and your cravings should occur later, probably not until you're sleeping.

Also - try more filling meals - something with a low energy release which would leave you feeling full for longer, and investing on some of these snacks for when you do get hungry. Natural yoghurt may be a good choice as it has a slow release of energy and not too many calories and is also tasty, and can be mixed with fruit or nuts.

may be you can buy some drinks..i know diet coke isn't good for you but its better then fatty food..so I sip on that..or flavored water so I have somthing in my hand.. and also you can start going to the gym I usually go in the am but now I cnt :/ so I go at night and I wnt eat b4 the gym cause makes me feel sick. and after gym you feel too good to eat tht food lol... also buy really healthy stuff to snack on..just start counting your calories..if you didn't eat tht much during the day and have some left over..snack

something that you could try since you get hungry after 7 you could try and change up what time you eat during the day like eat lunch a little later then eat your supper at 6:30-7 or even later but not to late so that your body doesn't use it, about 3.5 hours before you go to bed, that way you might not have that snacking feeling. also if you absolutely need a snack try some fruit or almonds is a good choice

hope it helps

eating after a certain time of the night, helps lead to weight gain, if you can try to not do this, thatll help, umm, exercising will help, not eating so much in quantity, instead of eating a pack of oreos, just have a couple, otherwise like with drinking its called bingeeating, and you don't want it to become that

have some discipline and have your own snacks. don't remove their snacks since that's their stuff and you will surely piss them off. girls put too much emphasis on their weight. while we like you to look good it is more important of how you are as a person...do you have any pics?

I brush my teeth and do other dental hygienes soon after dinner and that has helped significantly for me.
