Introduction:
You are on the track while you are losing weight during the day and suddenly the night come and you start nibbling with unhealthy food choices. Eating at the night is not bad by itself your choices what make your steps backwards.
So what you need to do in order to remain on the track?!
1. Eat Dinner, Not Snacks
Try to focus on a meal rather than snacks before bedtime. This will lower the chance of nibbling on unhealthy snacks.
2. Downsize Your Dinner
You need to distribute calories throughout the day in such a way the load will be during the day and the dinner will be the light choicde. This will make you satisfied during the day.
3. Plan Your Breakfast
Since dinner is the lighter choice, then you will wake up hungry during the next morning but dont let appetite makes you unhealthy choices. Try to plan ahead your breakfast and make sure to include protein, complex carbs, healthy fat in addition to vegetables for having a satisfying meal.
4. Set a Bedtime and Stick to It
You need to have seven to nine hours of sleep. Not getting enough sleep will increase the chance of having unhealthy food choices. Always set a bedtime and stick to it.
5. Don’t Check Facebook
Before sleeping avoid checking your social media as this can make you emotional which increase the risk of eating.
6. Practice a New Recipe
Even if you’re not a master chef, building the habit of finding simple, healthy dinner recipes and making them at home will pay big dividends — on the scale and your bank account.
7. Strike Up a Conversation
Social connections are important to maintain, and the support of having other people in your life helps us tolerate and adapt during hard times. Not having social support can lead to turning to food for emotional coping and regaining lost weight.
8. Think About Your Future
Research has shown that “episodic future thinking” — visualizing specific events in the future is a technique which combats this delay discounting. Call on this technique by journaling, putting together an inspiration board or simply daydreaming in the evening, when your willpower might need a boost to stick to your diet intentions.
