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.

Try it & let us know :)
Good it doesn't last too long either :)
Of course I never do the late night munchie, I could try it for mid afternoon snacking, etc.
I like peanut butter everything.

Am going to have to find my jar of peanut butter, LOL
Enjoy but not too often :)
Yeah only problem is my body heard me crowing about this & last night I ate the 2nd pork chop I grilled in case Derek wanted 2...
Don't beat yourself up ..
Drink tons of water today & move it so you can lose it :)
Thanks Hugs,
Well I made my 10km goal today = over 14 thou steps, so at least that has gone a little ways to undoing some of the nonsense I've been up to.
Also did a muscle-aimed work-out
Hang in there
