How do you stop eating after a certain time of day or in the eatings and or curb the evenin munchies?

Question

I have recently started to change my eating and exercize habbits to get healthier, but my biggest problem seems to be that I am most hungry in the evenings. I get extremely ravenous even though I will eat breakfast, lunch, and a snack. Eating healthy in the day time is easy for me and I do not struggle with it but at night I fight against the "unhealthy food snack monster" does anyone have any healthy suggestions to help stop this? It really is important to me to get healthier.

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with eating in the evening. The common mistake is that people think that because your body is slowing down you should stop eating, but by not eating your body is slowing down anyway.

I'm not a dietitian but I've done alot of research into good dieting.

I'll start from dinner at about 5pm, you need protein, plenty of vegetables and maybe a little bit of fats, steer clear of trans fats and make your saturated fat intake minimal. After dinner you should be ok for a couple of hours. When you start to get hungry around this time you should eat foods low in starchy carbs such as breads and potato, and eat foods higher in protein. By eating food before about an hour before bed your actually giving your body something to use as fuel while your asleep. Hope this helps

Answer 2

You said you eat breakfast, lunch, and a snack but never said anything about dinner. You need to eat dinner also! That's why you're getting the munchies. You don't need a large meal for dinner, but at least get some protein and a few vege's in your system. That will curb your snacking big time. Also, drink plenty of water, it will fill you up. Try to stop eating after a certain time, like 8pm, and brush your teeth. No one likes to eat or drink anything after you brush your teeth.
