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.

Of course I never do the late night munchie, I could try it for mid afternoon snacking, etc.

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
