Midnight cravings

Many people are addicted to nighttime eating and some tend to feel they can't sleep without their midnight snack. However, this is an unhealthy habit and might result in weight gain over a period of time.
After dinner, teach yourself to think of the kitchen as being closed for the night, and brush your teeth - you will want to eat less with a newly cleaned mouth.
Identify the cause of your midnight cravings. Is it eating a light dinner or is it something to do with stress? Once you know the root cause, it will be easier to find a solution.
It is important to stick to a routine when it comes to eating. Plan your meals and space them properly.
Eat regularly throughout the day. Some people due to their busy routine eat more at night. Include protein in every meal.
If craving hits, wait for ten minutes. If it still persists, have a glass of water. Drinking water will give relief in craving.
If you are still truly hungry, reach for something small like string cheese or a piece of fruit. Stock up on healthy snacks that are readily accessible.
