As nighttime eating is a difficult problem for me and many of our
\nreaders, I have some suggestions.  A lot of experts say just “don’t eat
\nat night,” or “never eat after 8pm,” but a lot of folks just have to
\nhave something.  One approach is to have low-calorie and low-fat items,
\nif you cannot avoid eating at night.  Have something that has some
\nsubstance and texture to fill you, but not make weight loss or weight
\nmaintenance a problem.  Here are some easy recipes for you to try.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon-Banana
\nApplesauce<\/b><\/u>
Only three ingredients: sugar-free, natural
\napplesauce, a sliced banana, and a dash of cinnamon.  Cinnamon is
\nthought to be a natural appetite suppressant.<\/p>\n

Soothing
\nSmoothie<\/b><\/u>
\u00bd cup juice (apple, strawberry, cranberry – but no
\ncitrus)
1 banana
1 cup ice cubes
1 tablespoon protein powder
\n(optional)<\/p>\n

Blend in a blender adding ingredients a little at a
\ntime. Blend until nice and frothy. The banana and\/or protein powder
\ngives it some body, without high calories or fat.<\/p>\n

Vegetable
\nMidnight Medley<\/b><\/u>
A whole new idea for a snack at night is to
\nhave some saut\u00e9ed vegetables.  Just cut up some of your favorites –
\nonion, green pepper, carrot, broccoli, etc. – throw them in a skillet
\nwith 1\/8 cup water, to steam them.  It’s a hot and tasty snack, with
\nvery few calories and scant trace of fat.  You might want to make extra
\nfor other nights during the week, which you can heat-up when you’re
\nready.<\/p>\n

Of course, before you eat and sleep, say some prayers
\nthanking God for your day.<\/p>\n

Please share these with your friends,
\nand post your own ideas and experiences below.<\/p>\n
