Midnight Munching: The Perfect Snack

Jean B., NeverSayDiet User


I have a terrible problem with midnight snacking, so I've made a deal with myself: If (when!) the cravings hit...


First: I try just drinking water - 12-16 oz. If that doesn't do the trick,


Second: I allow myself one generous cup of low-cal hot cocoa — you can buy it pre-mixed or mix up a batch yourself to have on hand (I use high quality dark cocoa, Novella non-fat sweetener, and nonfat dry milk, for a really rich taste) — a yummy comfort drink that nets about 25 calories.


And if that doesn't work,


Third: One small or medium apple (the Fuji variety is wonderfully sweet, juicy & crunchy), with the skin, sliced and then cut into about 25 pieces, sprinkled with cinnamon, eaten slowly, one piece at a time. This is about 60 calories, and it totally does the trick.

These are good ideas. I'm hungry now. I'm afraid the hot chocolate may have too much caffeine for late night though?

I have come to realize my late night munchies aren't about eating,
They are about being tired.
If I find myself in the kitchen browsing for a snack
I'll ask myself if I'm truly hungry, or am I just tired.


Most of the time

Yes, a heaping teaspoon of low sugar peanut butter is satisfying to me.

Another apple idea. Will try that too. I wonder if that works with pears.

Thanks Hugs,
I drink a cup of tea or coffee & usually does the trick.
