Tips to Stop Late Night Eating

1. Be sure to eat 3 good meals during the day with 1 or 2 between meal snacks. Most people try to eat too few calories during the day only to binge late at night. A good insurance policy is to eat most of your calories before 6 PM.

2. When you feel the urge to eat late at night, try drinking 2 or more cups of water. You can also make a cup of herbal tea sweeten with honey or artificial sugar. Hot liquids have a soothing effect on emotions and appetite.

3. Remind yourself that it’s normal to feel hungry late at night due to habitually eating late. Breaking this habit is like learning to quit smoking. Remind yourself of your goal to lose 20 or 30 pounds and the key to losing this weight is to STOP late night eating.

Strength training with dumbbells or resistance bands at least twice a week is essential to boosting your metabolism. Repeat – essential. And here’s the really good news: Your metabolism stays pumped for many hours after you finish your workout.

2. Get moving. You know the drill, but here’s a reminder. At least 30 to 60 minutes of walking, jogging, cycling, swimming or some other form of aerobic exercise a minimum of three times a week is the other half of the exercise equation. “People don’t like to hear it but you have got to exercise,” says Lieberman.

30 Diet Tips that Work

1. “I do Kettlebellls.” says Katherine Heigl. “It’s a weighted ball with a handle. Every exercise you do you’re either lifting it or flinging it. It’s cardio and weight training at the same time.”

2. Mena Suvari borderlines obsessive when it comes to healthy eating! “I believe in healhty, organic food and I don’t eat sugar – I’m pretty anal,” she says. “I’m very particular and it can be hard on set. I need to look at food before I eat it as I can visualise how it will affect my body.”

3. Actor John Cusack stays away from “everything white” including flour, sugar and wheat.

4. The envy of many a woman, Paris Hilton manages to eat McDonald’s and Taco Bell without bulking up. But the party girl has a secret. “I just take a few bites.” she says, so she never feels deprived. Clever!

5. ‘If I’m hungry I’m a monster and I get grumpy if I don’t eat,” says Rachel Bilson, who comes prepared to avoid picking on fatty snacks. “I always have things in my purses. I love candy but I’ll also have healthy granola bars so I’ll be at a party and I’ll have an apple in my bag or cookies or crackers.”

6. Denise Richards says she has “felt better consistently drinking noni juice.” an antioxidant-rich Tahitian fruit juice that claims to boost immunity and energy.
