What to eat at night: advice for those who can’t cope with hunger
Agree - many of us periodically make night raids on the refrigerator.
There may be different reasons for such behavior (which is of course unhealthy).
So, you may want to eat due to the peculiarities of your work schedule, due to which dinner falls late. A brutal appetite at night can be affected by an intense workout in the evening, after which the body needs to recover;
Another reason is improper or insufficient nutrition during the day, when not enough calories were received or not very nutritious products were chosen. Even emotional experiences during the day have an impact.
If you feel overwhelmed by hunger, try drinking a glass of water.
If this step doesn't help, choose light and low-calorie foods such as low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit or berries.
What else can be done?
Brew some herbal tea before bed – it has a calming effect and will help you fall asleep faster, which is especially important since lack of sleep increases the risk of overeating, including at night.
Here's another unexpected tip: brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with mouthwash.
Usually after such hygiene procedures you don’t feel like eating anymore.
