12 ways to stop nighttime eating

An acute desire to eat at night is sometimes the main reason for weight gain. Often, you should stop eating at night and weight loss results will not be long in coming. A lifestyle with abundant late meals can be defined as a bad habit, akin to smoking. After all, the pleasure lasts only a minute. A little later, after committing the “crime”, you have a feeling of hopelessness, culinary images are replaced by heartbreaking visions of your rounded belly and thighs. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Is there really nothing that can be done about this? Can!

1. Drink more
   Trick your stomach with liquid. Drink a glass of mineral water with a slice of lemon, tomato juice or a cup of green tea. The liquid will fill your empty stomach and dull the feeling of hunger.

2. Take a hot bath
   It reduces appetite and relaxes. Increased sweating will also help you remove excess fluid from your body.

3. Give it a load
   If you feel that your hunger has become unbearable, do a little exercise. Exercise will distract you from your obsessive thoughts of reaching the refrigerator and burn a couple of extra calories. In addition, immediately after physical activity, appetite decreases. But do not overdo it with the load, because... You may find it difficult to sleep after this.

4. Connect your sense of smell
   Aromatherapy will help curb your appetite. As soon as you feel the urge to eat unscheduled, smell a grapefruit peel, light scented candles, or hold a bottle of some aromatic oil or perfume to your nose. Floral and fruity aromas are especially effective. The centers of hunger and smell are nearby, so smells will help temporarily “kill” the feeling of hunger.

5. Pamper yourself, but not too much
   Immediately after dinner, treat yourself to a light dessert, such as fruit, low-fat yogurt, or a small piece of dark chocolate. This will lift your mood, and the aftertaste that comes after it will help in the fight against your appetite.

6. "No" to additives
   During the last meal, never add spices and herbs to the dish, as they increase appetite and exacerbate the feeling of hunger, even after you have eaten.

7. Out of sight!
   Never keep high-calorie foods in a visible place. It will be better if you put fruits or vegetables in the most accessible places, because if you do end up having a breakdown, snacking on them won’t be so bad.

8. Take a walk before bed
   This will distract you from heavy thoughts about food. However, fresh air can increase your appetite. Therefore, choose a time for a walk such that after it you can go straight to bed.

9. Chew some gum
   It’s better if it’s sugar-free and fruity. The chewing reflex and sweetness in your mouth will deceive your appetite.

10. Brush your teeth
    A conditioned reflex should work here: after brushing our teeth, we don’t eat.

11. Let your imagination run wild
    Clearly imagine yourself beautiful and slender, the most charming and attractive. Would such a woman eat enough at night?

12. Envy
    If you have little imagination, look at a glossy magazine. Real images of slender beauties will surely take your appetite away. And what could be a stronger incentive than a woman’s hang up?
