Nighttime Munchies


3. Hydrate

Grab something to drink at night -- like water or tea -- instead of a snack. --Becca

Drink water when you want to snack at night. Your body may be telling you that it's dehydrated. I keep a glass of cold water with me in the evening -- it's filling and helps wash your body out. When I finish one glass of water, I move on to the next. --Jared

Always have a bottle of water with you for whenever you feel the urge to put something in your mouth. Water makes you feel full, which will in turn stop you from running to the fridge for that late-night snack! --Angela



4. Brush and floss

Once you've finished dinner, brush and floss your teeth very thoroughly. Then pour yourself a glass of water to sip while you watch TV, etc. Keep filling the glass -- you won't be as tempted to eat. If it's a cold evening, a pot of herbal (or decaf) tea works well. --Leslie

Set a time after which you won't snack. At that time each night, floss and brush your teeth. --an iVillager

5. Healthy snack suggestions

Try low-fat snacks such as air-popped popcorn or rice cakes. You can also have a stick of gum. It worked for me! --Rebecca

One low-cal nighttime snack I enjoy is fat-free chocolate pudding topped with fat-free Cool Whip. It's yummy! --Renee
