How Do I Stop Binge-Eating at Night?
Every night, after the commotion of the day, whether I'm sitting down to surf the web or doing homework, I ALWAYS WANT FOOD. Not just a little food, a LOTTA food. I can't stop eating until after 4 bowls of popcorn and 2 glasses of juice or milk are downed and I'm filled with disgust and regret. Even while I'm eating I know I'll regret it, but can't make myself stop.
You can start by eating breakfast, even if it's something small, says Milton Stokes, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. "By shifting calories to the morning hours, you will ensure that your nighttime cravings don't have as much of a pull."
Start off with a piece of fruit, then gradually add a serving of whole grain and a source of lean protein, until you're consuming a meal consisting of about 350 calories.

I'm the same way, I eat healthy throughout the day, go to the gym, get a lot of exercise etc but at night i really crave food so much so that i've decided that the sooner i go to bed the better, sometimes around 7 :/ and I should add that I am a dj so it can be VERY challenging at times with my late work hours. Would love to hear some more tips!
It's ALL about making healthy choices, exercise and discipline. I have found some great producs from SABA that really help. One called A.C.E. (Appetite Control & Energy) Amazing results with adding energy and eliminating those snack cravings. My wife and I have been using it for 3 months and have a total weight loss of nearly 70 pounds. I also use a product from them called SBA Pomegranate Juice. Helps with overall health, energy & Stress. Love it! Check it out... www.sabaforlife.com/jblev
lots of times that kind of craving comes from anxiety or stress. it happens to me all the time and i have noticed it more when i am worried about something, i try to exercise so that i can de-stress and drinking two glasses of water always works, at least you wont be able to eat as much!....snack on baby spinach instead. :) try to relax
try switching to peanut butter and baby carrots. You will get full very fast. This way, you're getting veggies, protein, and good monounsaturated fats. Instead of sugary juice try water with some super low cal flavor from crystal light.
If this is a nightly habit eat a fruit, chug a bottle of water, then drink a cup of tea, then wait 10 minutes (I know it can be hard!) around the time you usually binge even if you don't feel it coming..It really works if you're patient =) Good luck =)
Are you eating breakfast? If not, do it!!! Also eat a couple of small (but filling) snacks filled with protein throughout the day. Protein will curb cravings. try drinking a glass of water before dinner, and eating dinner with family or friends instead of by yourself. Don't eat in front of the tv. These tips really worked for me and I hope they will work for you! Good luck!
I'm the same way, unfortunately, I don't have an answer. But I thought i'd comment because i'd like to get an answer too!
