 | | 4 / 6 Put a stop on nighttime snack attacks
Late night snackers, take heed. Nighttime is the worst time to overeat, since that's when our bodies have the lowest need for calories, say experts.
If you've gotten into the habit of eating in front of the television, replace it with something healthy like fruits or a whole-wheat bagel. Or ban snacking in the TV room altogether. To take your mind off food, keep yourself occupied in the evenings with a new book, hobby or an evening exercise session.
Also, aim for a balanced high-fiber breakfast and lunch to help avoid overeating later on. "If you eat no breakfast (and sometimes no lunch), by the time dinner comes around, you are famished. As a result, you gorge yourself until bedtime," says Ron Goor, co-author of Choose To Lose.
