After Dinner Hunger Pains?
After dinner for me is sometimes the hardest times of the night! I
am a late night snacker through and through. So in the evenings there are a few
things that I do to keep myself in check. After dinner I get my mind busy, I
call a friend/family member, blog, read a book, go for a walk, paint my fingernails, or watch a
movie. Then, I think of the kitchen as closed for the rest of the night,
especially if I washed all my dishes. (Other suggestions: family game night,
bonfire, or put together a puzzle!)
If I need a snack I choose something light like a plant protein shake, or a small handful of berries. Herbal and peppermint teas help to stave off hunger! Or drink extra water. I literally think of the kitchen as closed and avoid it at all costs. It helps so much!
*Tip: Brush your teeth right after dinner and you will be less likely to snack before bed!
