Question: How do I control my late night food and sugar cravings?

Answer: This is a good question and a big problem for many people trying to lose weight. Late night sugar (carbohydrate) cravings generally arise from inadequate calories throughout the day. When you eat very little during the day this drastically lowers blood sugar and puts you into blood sugar deficit (BSD). Then at night (many times after dinner) to make up for BSD, those uncontrollable cravings are turned on and there is nothing (or no one) that's going to stop you from tearing into every bag of potato chips, jar of jelly beans or carton of ice cream!

The best way to control this is to simply eat three to four balanced meals of (250 to 300 calories each) throughout the day so you don't go into BSD. It takes a lifestyle change but it's a powerful one. Give it a try, I bet it works for you. Make a concerted effort to get at least one part lean protein, one part carbohydrate and one part fruit or vegetable for each of your daily meals.
