Late Night Cravings

[cristylp]

Ok... this has been my problem lately and I don't know why. I go to bed and before I know it I'm having cravings something awful. If I cave and have a midnight snack it's been legal...chicken and cheese, or an occasional cream cheese/cocoa/splenda mix. But I don't know why I'm doing it, I'm not hungry. Other than locking myself in the bedroom I don't know how to kick the cravings. And I keep water by the bed to drink instead but it's not helping much.

Re: Late Night Cravings

check the protein/fat ratio in your last meal. too much protein gets converted to sugar with raises blood sugar which stimulates insulin production which drops blood sugar which stimulates food wantings. if you are fine you might want to slightly increase your fat at that meal to see if that quells the craving.

Also look and see if you have any new to yoiu foods or any food has changes ingredients. That can trigger cravings too.

aCheck the number of carbs you are having with your last meal/snack and see if you need to cut those back a little and have them earlier in the day.

Las tif all else fails try snacking on a habenero with a little cheese or dip cause one bite and all you will be craving is ice water!!!!

This is like a bad car accident, I know I shouldn't be watching, I don't think I'm old enough to watch, but I just can't stop.

Re: Late Night Cravings

What could make you sleep better? Lets think....
Have you been in extended induction for a long time now? Should you think about going into OWL soon, maybe its that crazy ketosis energy. It does the same thing too me, really bad, go to bed late and wake up early. I mean I could come over and read you too sleep but you prolly wouldnt like what I read, they are steamy romance novels. Your call let me know..

Re: Late Night Cravings
