How to put a STOP to Late Night Eating?

Dear Beautiful followers,

 Have you been lately eating a lot during the night and feeling uncomfortably full? Does your eating routine includes more serving of food during the night than during your lunch time? And what about the morning meal? Do you eat little or completely skip breakfast? 

If your answer to the above questions is yes, then are you sure you’re not suffering from night eating syndrome? 

Yes! NIGHT EATING SYNDROME. It is common and it’s not like binge eating but an individual eats a lot during the night time (mostly guilt eating) and skips or eats very little during the day time and during the lunch time. His/her majority calories come from the night hour eating. It is usually snacking and unhealthy eating. 

There could be tons of reasons for that but the important thing is how we to stop this.

Recognize The Reason for Late Night Snacking

You need to recognize the reason or reasons that keep you from sleeping and make you snack. It could be stress, sadness, anger or frustration. Try to let go. Nothing is in your control. What is done is done but you can always try to make your present and future better. Therefore, work on it and let go of the emotions that make you eat when you aren’t hungry.

Break the Habit

First of all, break the habit of sleeping late. How is that possible? Well, first of all, break the habit of having caffeine at night. Try to read a book before you switch off the lights and sleep. Most importantly switch off you Wi-Fi and cell-phones.

Wake Up Early

Do have your alarm set for early morning. Have your water and then your breakfast. Do your routine work. Set an alarm for your lunch time and make sure while you have your breakfast and lunch, you are enjoying every bit of it and your focus is not diverted by cell-phones and other work stuff.

Junk Food

You are likely to snack more when you have junk food in the house. So, it is recommended that you keep no junk food in the house in order to avoid unnecessary snacking at odd times. 

Light Dinner 

Lastly, have a light dinner and something sweet for desert. Repeat the cycle day after day until it becomes a habit.

Remember, your habits are not going to be changed within a day or within a matter of few days, everything, specially the good thing, take some time. But it’s never late to start changing things for the better.
