I had an e-mail from Joan, one of our readers, who asked how to curb night time cravings. I will admit that this issue is really hard for me as well. I like greek 0% yogurt and fruit in the evening. It’s better than Hagindaz for sure (at 300 calories per serving of about ¾ cup).
My recommendation is to recognize what your stresses are that trigger cravings stress from work, kids, or studies? If salty treats or chocolate or candy is your urge, then try not to have those items in the house. If you just have to have a bite, try cutting it into ½ or ¼ pieces and put the rest straight down the disposal or away in the fridge. You can follow u our treat bite with a piece of fruit so you fill up your stomach.
Make sure your dinner plate has fiber to fill up your stomach and it will help keep your blood sugar levels even. Also, try using a smaller plate which will help control your portions.
