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.
