Late Night Snacking

Late at night is the hardest time of day for me. I keep wanting to eat after I already had a huge, healthy dinner! I think I just get bored and start thinking about what I can eat. Probably a sign that I should be drinking more water!

So just in case you're feeling the way I am right now... DON'T DO IT! KITCHEN IS CLOSED!
Don't sabotage your results with late night snacking. 

Here are some ideas that might help:
-Drink water
-Chew gum
-Brush your teeth
-Log all of your meals using LoseIt! or MyFitnessPal

Whatever it takes to get you through those cravings. If you are really hungry, make sure you indulge in a healthy snack option:

-fresh fruit
-edamame
-veggies and hummus
-Shakeology. 

If that isn't satisfying, your mind is playing tricks on you. 

Stay strong! You'll thank yourself in the morning!
