Have a shower. It is the place where you are safe from food and drink plus showering helps to wind down and relax before having an early night

Brushing your teeth right after a meal helps me. It a physical demarcation exercise.

Great video. Evening eating is my downfall and while momentarily satisfying, causes me stress and disappointment in myself. My stopper, when I apply, is brush and floss my teeth and rinse with a minty mouthwash. After all that, I will not eat. Thanks for this nudge.

So true about late night snacking becoming a habit - had not accepted how much it impacts weight control or lack of it - now 22lbs down after years of midnight snacking! Super video from Becky - as always.

Tea is my favorite “snack” if I get a sweet craving. Peppermint or Egyptian licorice tea are my favorite.

I struggle with this. It’s like my body is fighting the let down period of the where you get tired and want some energy in the form of food. And your more vulnerable cause your tired. Easier to make bad decisions.

Curving my appetite through day is so simple. But nighttime kills mint gum is the only thing I haven't tried so here we go

I must confess I love late night eating because it has a "party" feel to it. I am a "worker bee" type so nighttime is my first real relaxation time where I get to sit and enjoy food. I know it's something to remove from my routine...maybe I need to make lunch time my party? LOL

Thanks Dr Becky. Drinking enough water helps me also. Plus after my last meal I will eat a square or two of Camino baker chocolate. Yes, it’s bitter, but I have grown to really like the taste.

Well THIS could explain why I have soooo much trouble sleeping too!!! I'm definitely gonna test it out!!

[christieleigh]

Great video! I struggle so much with this… if I eat carbs before bed, I am up and down through the night to eat! You hit it on the head.

[brianaustin]

Thank you great video!! I eat healthy all day then blow it the last half hour before bed it’s terrible 😞

[MataH]

Thanks for this help. You way of presenting is so soothing!...

[laraallison]

Tomorrow is monday. I'll start the new week without late night snacking. I'll be hungry, but it'll be worth it.

[kellygonzalez]

Wow this was so helpful! I eat so healthy during the day but get STRONG cravings late at night thank you <3

Hi Dr.Becky I found your channel over a year ago. I had great success with keto. I was 60 pounds over weight, blood pressure through the roof and felt horrible. Keto was the answer for me and your videos and advice helped me so much. I lost the 60 pounds, lowered my BP and felt great. I had some things happen in my life and let it all go. I've gained 40 of those pounds back. I have decided to get back on track. I do great during the day but now there's a new phenomenon plaguing me. I get up at midnight or one o'clock in the morning and binge eat. What is going on? Why is this happening to me?

[ameliamonica]

This is so to apply it!
Thank you...

You are awesome, informative, to the point, and show what people like to see and hear in terms of health, being fit, what to consume, and what to avoid. God bless you doctor !

Thank you, your tips have helped me to fine tune my weight loss program. I have had two obstacles hard to get through. My morning glucose was always high while rest of day it ran normal. Even after loss of over 40 lbs. I followed your advice of stop eating 3 hours before going to bed attempting 12/12 fast. It helped along with using Berberine advice from 2 fitdocs video. Thanks again. Trying bulletproof coffee, quite tasty! Yum.

A high fibre diet (still low carb) can help ie. one that is rich in leafy vegetables
