between meal snaking

I have a huge problem controling myself before diner time and after dinner time! I always find small things to munch on, but I won't even be hungry. Please help me!

You know I'm having the same issue but I know I do it because of stress.

Get a bag of shredded broccoli and keep a bowl of it on the counter. It is great to grab a handful when you feel the need to snack but you aren't really hungry. If you ARE really hungry hurry up and have a piece of fruit.

I had a similar problem and someone here recommended increasing your protein levels. It's helped me. Also, having small clemintine (sp?) oranges around REALLY cut back my late night munchies and since they're small, they're better than a lot of alternatives. They're also in season right now!

If your circumstances permit, go to bed early. Not only will you not snack, your body will get the extra rest it needs to help you flush.

lately I really really need to follow this advice! Tha past two night I've made the 'intention' of heading to bed by 10pm and twice didn't make it til midnight or later!! I'm getting into this bad habit!!!

Brush your teeth. Or, if you still can't resist have some sugar free jello or my favorite, a pickle.

Rember though, if you are doing Fat Flush...make your own pickles out of cucumbers and Apple Cider Vinegar only!

How do you make your own pickles?

For Fat flush.... slice up cucumbers, cauliflower and put into Apple Cider Vinegar with fennel seeds and garlic powder. Let sit a few days and viola PICKLES!!
