Cutting Back on Night Eating

It’s been a while since I’ve given myself a new assignment concerning my weight loss efforts. I took up running again and almost instantly my appetite seems to have been cut in half. One thing that I still have a problem with is eating too late. I eat dinner too late, and then I often have dessert around 10 o’clock. (I made an apple pie the other day.)

So, that’s the thing I will be working on. I think part of the problem is that I do a lot of work at night and it’s easy to mindlessly munch. Plus, my office is right next to the kitchen. So I am making a pact. When I sit by my desk I will prevent mindless munching by drinking tea. Some teas I will have on call:

  • Ginger
  • Caramel Rooibus
  • Green Tea
  • Chamomile Tea
  • Mint blend (made from peppermint and spearmint)

Those are flavorful and satisfying so drinking them instead of eating should do the trick. I wrote more about it here .
