How to FINALLY Stop Snacking EVERY Night

Do you find yourself snacking every night, wondering why it’s happening and genuinely wanting to stop it from happening?

Snacking at night is one of the top 3 habits I see amongst people struggling to lose weight or gaining unwanted weight.

Most of them believe the issue is that they have no willpower or that they are addicted to the sugar or salt from the snacky snacks they munch on.

You may have even been led to believe that eating after 7pm in general causes fat gain, so as soon as you have 1 chip, might as well eat 89 more because you already blew it!

Fortunately NONE of this is true and the nighttime issue is very fixable.

You are not addicted to sugar or salt.

You do not need more willpower.

And calories do not change after 7pm.

The problem you actually have is that you are heading into every evening undernourished and low on protein.

This solution literally has a 100% success rate when done correctly (you just have never been taught the correct way.)

Most of your days are unplanned when it comes to food, and if they are planned, they are way too “diety”.

“Diety” is when you think you are eating healthy but you are actually not eating enough.

Your unplanned days are usually skipping breakfast or just having a shake, followed by ordering out at lunch & maybe giving in to a sugar craving that pops up because you’ve barely eaten all day.

This leads to the 3pm munchies where you are snacking on crackers or calorie loaded almonds and before you know it, it’s 7pm and you are starving after eating dinner.

The “Diety” days are when you eat just a yogurt or shake, then a salad for lunch, and use water to distract from the hunger cues sending alarms to your brain all day.

You have a meat and vegetable dinner and then by 7pm you are fucking starving. Then the snacking begins.

ALL FIXABLE.

The solution is that you need to base your day around 3-4 meals that each have a lean protein present in them.

If you work a 9-5pm or 8-4pm or 7-3pm schedule you need a basic & simple structure to your day when it comes to food.

Before work: a protein with a carb & some fruit.

Mid morning: a protein + a fruit

Lunch: a protein with a carb + a veggie or fruit

Mid afternoon: a protein + a fruit or just a protein

Dinner: a protein with a carb + a veggie.

Now this may look like “a lot”, but it is actually simple and will SAVE you time.

Think of all the time you actually spend each day thinking about or dealing with the consequences of food.

Deciding what to eat

Ordering food/deciding what to order

Wondering if you are making the right choice

Knowing you are making the wrong choice and feeling guilty

Not to mention the feeling of discomfort with your health & body.

If you spent 30 min planning out your meals, you would save hours of mental bandwidth each day.

A typical day could be as simple as;

Breakfast: 1 whole egg + 4 egg whites with cheese, 2 pieces of toast, & an apple

Mid Morning Snack: 1 cup greek yogurt with honey & berries.

Lunch: 5 oz of shrimp with ½ cup rice and mixed veggies

Mid afternoon: Protein shake

Dinner: 5 oz sirloin steak with roasted potatoes & asparagus.

Imagine getting sugar cravings after a day like that? Wouldn’t happen!

Imagine reaching in the pantry for snacks after a day like that? Nope

You would not only feel full and satiated, but you would feel healthy and proud of your decisions.

This template goes against every diet strategy you’ve tried in the past that demonized carbs, convinced you that eating was bad, and suggested drinking seltzer to distract from hunger.

The main difference is that the strategy I recommend actually WORKS and it works forever.

On day ONE you will notice sugar cravings are gone & that you do not reach for snacks at night.

After a few days you will feel amazing energy.

After a few weeks you will notice your workouts have been steadily improving and that you are looking leaner.

It all starts with ditching the diet mindset and actually building a lean, toned body.

Toned = Muscle

You can’t STARVE yourself toned.

You BUILD toned!

If you want to hop out of the diet cycle and build a lean, toned body while also having a great relationship with food & not starving, let me know.
