Curb Your Cravings in a Healthy Manner

No matter how much we try to prevent it, sometimes the feeling is overwhelming – Late night snacking. 

When we can’t curb these cravings, it’s all too often we turn to all of the unhealthy or even just carb-heavy snacks. 

If you are like me – and I LOVE to snack – I have to make it a habit to keep around some good, low carb, high protein snacks to grab and curl up on the couch with.  Remember that lat night snacking as a direct impact on your body’s metabolism.  Eating sugary or high-carb foods right before you put your body into a resting state is a recipe for weight gain. You can feed the hunger urge while still maintaining a healthy balance.  Your body will thank you.

The GOOD Late Night Snacking

• • Cottage cheese 
  • Eggs (boiled, scrambled, who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner, or a late-night snack?)
  • String cheese
  • Protein meat snacks (my favorite are the Ostrim brand)
  • Chickpea salad
  • Hummus and veggies
  • Chicken salad

The BAD Late Night Snacking

• • Fruits, as they are high in sugar and therefore loaded with carbs 
  • Sweets! This might be the hardest one to avoid
  • Bread
  • Chips
  • Crackers
