These 5 tips can help ensure you never eat late at night again

Do you find yourself eating more food than normal at night?

Do you instantly regret it? Regret that you worked hard all day only to fall off the wagon at night…

It’s completely normal. Happens to lots of folks. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, I used to do it all the time – until I changed just a couple of things.

These 5 tips can help ensure you never eat late at night again.

• Fiber and (Healthy) Fats are Your Friends

What’s the best way to not eat late at night?

Stay full.

The more satiated you are, the less likely you will be to eat later. Now, that doesn’t mean you should go overboard at dinner. The second you start feeling full, you should stop eating.

Just be sure to add healthy fats (coconut oil, olive oil, and avocado, etc) to your dinner and toss in a bit of fiber. Raw vegetables are perfect. Fats and fiber will help you feel full for hours. Yes, it really can be as simple as that, but we know it’s really not.

• Drink Water

Suppose you still get hungry, then what?

Drink water. You might be surprised to know that most people actually confuse thirst for hunger. If your throat or mouth isn’t dry, chances are good you’re going to assume you’re hungry and not thirsty. However, that’s often not the case. Figure out what’s really going on with your body. Drink a glass of water first. More often than not, that should quench your hunger.

• Slow Down

Slow down when you’re eating dinner. It takes time for your food to get your stomach. That means it takes time for your stomach to tell your brain it’s had enough. Unfortunately, most people eat so freaking fast that your brain doesn’t hear your stomach until you’re well into seconds or dessert.

Let’s be honest for a quick second. Counting how many times you chew your food is incredibly boring. And it takes all the fun out of eating. So instead of counting your food, really taste it. Taste the complexity of what it is you’re eating. Pay attention to the texture. Or, if that’s not your thing, take a few seconds and be thankful for the meal and the energy you’re receiving.

• Willpower

Your will power has a limit. You can’t just say “No!” to everything all day every day. Eventually, your will-power wears out and you cave. Sometimes that means you let your kids jump on the couch. Other times, suddenly the Oreos and milk mysteriously go missing.

The easiest thing to do is not tempt yourself. Don’t buy those treats in the first place. Or put them somewhere you forget about them if you have kids. Somewhere you don’t constantly walk by them imagining how good they taste or how it’ll be fine if you only eat one or two.

• Go to Sleep

You’re hungry. It’s late. Just go to bed. If you’re too hungry to go to bed, see #2. You probably haven’t been getting enough sleep anyway. Most people are chronically sleep deprived and don’t really notice it because they cover it up with caffeine, sugar, and all sorts of terrible habits.

Not getting enough sleep can also reduce the amount of willpower you start each day with. Get as much willpower in your bank as possible. Just go to sleep. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later.
