Are You A Late Night Snacker?

Are you one of those folks who raids the kitchen every night? Here are some hints to help you control eating in the evening.

Clean your teeth right after dinner. If you brush with a mint toothpaste, this can signal the brain that you are through eating for the day and reduce cravings for treats. If it helps, you can repeat it several times a night.

Close up the kitchen. After dinner, put away all leftovers, clean up, shut any doors and turn out the lights.

Don't starve yourself. If you eat healthy meals throughout the day, this helps curb the hunger at night. Also, you can set out a healthy snack like a small handful of nuts and an apple to eat before going to bed.

More tomorrow.
