There is no talk of any healthy nutrition if a person always eats before going to bed or suffers from sudden trips to the kitchen during night awakenings.
Perhaps a person suffers from stress or has adjusted his body to a certain diet and now can't do anything about it. But how can you refuse to eat at night?
Of course, it is unlikely that you will find universal advice here, but it is important to follow the following recommendations if a person wants to sleep soundly and not feel hungry.
It is necessary to adjust the eating regimen
Of course, a person does not need to eat only at a strictly designated time, but it is necessary to accustom oneself to at least some kind of schedule. For example, if a person eats every 4 hours, he will be able to refuse night snacks. It will be much more difficult to do this if the individual eats only early in the morning and late in the evening.
See the difference between thirst and hunger
A person does not always really want to eat, perhaps he should just follow a drinking regime. If a person suddenly feels hungry, he should drink a glass of water and wait for some time, perhaps this unpleasant feeling will go away.
Don't give in to your own triggers
A person should analyze their behavior during the day and understand: why do they want to eat at night? Most likely, something provokes it, for example, stress. If a person gets tired at work, argues with someone and then wants to eat, trying to drown out their emotions with food, perhaps they should give up fatty and fried foods, replace them with fruits, kefir or other dairy products.
Buy healthy food
Even if a person has already stopped overeating before bed, perhaps he should add some health benefits to his late dinner. It is worth giving preference to healthy products. For example, bananas, boiled eggs or nuts are good choices before bed.
Keep yourself busy with something interesting
Sometimes a person simply has nothing to do before going to bed, so he goes to the kitchen again. Often a person does not know what to do with his free time, so he cooks dinner again, although he does not feel hungry. Perhaps it is worth thinking up some interesting hobby, for example, knitting or watching movies and TV series, but only without food.
