I am so hungry everynight around 10 o'clock. I'm 20lbs over weight. Should I go to bed hungry? I drink water (which causes me to have to get up and pee during the night). I'm just hungry RIGHT NOW and I want to eat really bad. Would a bowl of whole grain cereal be ok? De-caf coffee? What?

This used to be my biggest problem in losing weight - snacking late at night, so I'd really like to share something an RN told me about. I used something called THINS to curb desire for food. It's not a pill, but a natural appetite suppressant (no stimulants, etc.) in wafer form. While YOU may not want to lose weight, this is what happened with me...I continued to lose 5-7 pounds a week by snacking on the chocolate wafers throughout the day until I lost my target 20 pounds. You can order them direct from www.PreventionProof.com by clicking on “Store” and then “View all products” What impressed me was how credible the research was and that you weren't just hearing some lame testimonials or some doctor’s endorsement who was "on the payroll". If you e-mail Support@PreventionProof.com, they'll send you a nice information sheet.

It is so terrible to eat before laying down, I have the same problem too though, every night I am hungry. Discussed this with my doc and she said to eat a half of a peanut butter sndwich and that will sustain you all night. The p-butter is high in protein and stays with you longer. I have a habit of waking at night and eating, so she said to try this before bed. It does work. Maybe you could try that about 6 or 7 pm and maybe it will hold you over. Godd luck, weight is a tough thing to battle, believe me I know.

Sounds kind of odd but a good cut on the carbs calories and such. Take 1/2 cup vanilla lowfat yogurt, 1/2 cup lowfat cool whip -- Mix together then top wiht 1/2 cup of special K low carb. You can mix it up or just leave topped. It is a good special treat that will not throw you over your diet.

Fruit and vegetables. Just know that sometimes weight gain is temporary--it's nothing more than retained water. It'll eventually go away.
Or have a nice cup of warm fat free milk. Coffee (decaf) will do too. I also like fat-free hot cocoa (only 25 cals a cup) by Nescafe.
Chewing gum may also curb hunger.

A hot cup of tea usually makes me feel full, as does a piece of toast (no butter). Try an apple, or a few crackers. Cereal would be Ok as long as you watch the portion..many of us tend to overfill our bowls with cereal

When I am hungry and it's late. I just chew some gum and go for a short walk for about 10-15 minutes. It will curb your appetite and then you will fall right to sleep.

Whole grain cereal would be good. Or try a piece of fruit, such as an apple or peach. (No oranges though. That will make you get up at night.)

How about a cup of Low Fat Yogurt or some nice cold fruit like cantelope, or strawberries. I am also trying to loose some weight.

its been proven that eating late at night or right before bed does not make you gain weight....IF you do not make it a habit.
Go ahead and have a half a cup of ice cream with a dash of cereal....

i would say the fruit would be ur best opinion a little popcorn (not the whole bag) might not hurt.
Good luck losing weight is hard enough without ur body going "HEY FEED ME" hope everything works out ok for u
