Answer 3

I do too. Here are some tips. =)

~Chew gum. It will help you not to eat and you will not want to eat after that minty taste!

~Brush your teeth at 7:00pm. It will help you not eat because it will give you that minty taste, and you already brushed your teeth!

~Read or do something you like to do to keep your mind off food.

~Ask yourself: are you hungry or bored? Some people eat a lot or just eat when they are bored or depressed.

~Eat a filling dinner so you won't get hungry at 9.

~Drink water if you get hungry.

~Try not to keep a lot of snacks in an easy accessible place. The harder it is to get to them, the more you will think that it is not worth it.

~Good luck! =)

That's my hardest time also so I know what you mean.  First, I don't keep the things that really tempt me in the house.  If I'm going to munch on potato chips, M&Ms, or ice cream (my big 3 temptations) I've got to go to the store and buy it.  It's easier to talk myself out of it if I have to go to the store.  

Then I make sure I get a good satisfying dinner so that I'm not hungry.  If all you have for dinner is a little salad or something, you're going to be hungry later and that's not the munchies that's for real hunger.  

Finally I try to stay busy so that I don't have time to think about eating.  3 nights a week I go to the Fitness Center and swim for an hour. I love swimming so that's a good motivator.  The other nights I take my dog to the park and we walk.  It's good for her and we both love it.  

Answer 5

eat a hearty breakfast up your fluid intake eat lunch and dinner if you are hungry try a bowl of oats before bed and try some form of relaxation.

Answer 6

stay of the pot and drink lots of water

Answer 7

i seriously think, well this is my theory that we humans become very hungry before going to sleep, i think we are made this way since you are about to fast for 8+ hours.  Which means you will not eat for a long period of time, and therefore your body is almost trying to get enough food to hibernate.  Just eat something but not much.

Answer 8

Eat more carbs during the day to keep you full. But if keep getting the munchies, eat something a little more healthy than snacks. Try dried fruit or an apple.
