We all know the deal we are at home late at night we are hungry and before we know it we have blacked out and eaten half the pantry and we have now gone backwards in reaching our goals. I get it trust me I do. Snacking un-necessarily is one of the biggest things that stops people from achieving their goals. Give my below top FIVE (5) tips a read on how to go about helping you in this area:
- My first and biggest tip to help curb snacking is to not have un-necessary nasty snacks in the house. If your feeling hungry late at night and you know in your mind that there is chocolate and other nasty treats in the cupboard, then you can guarantee and bet your house on it that they will be gone. When you do your shopping at the start of the week only buy what’s in your plan and leave it out of the house – PERIOD!
- My next tip is to do with having some other “healthy treats” around the house that give you the same fix you need late at night but have far less calories in them then the other nasty foods we tend to look to. If you’re needing ideas, click the link below where UPS has devoted a range of products that are designed perfectly to help you with that sugar fix but are less likely to be to put you in a calorie surplus where you add un-wanted body fat.

3. Don’t restrict yourself of the foods you love completely this is 110% where so many people go wrong. There is not one single person on the entire planet that goes 100% of the time living without their favorite food. Aim to operate under the 80/20 rule where for 80% of the time you are consuming “healthy” foods that nourish the body then the other 20% of the time still consume the foods you love in moderation. This is such a good balanced way to go about living this lifestyle.
4. My next tip is about self-control. I don’t want this to come across the wrong way but if your serious about your goals you need to have some form of discipline and self-control. Consume the foods you love which have been calculated perfectly into your plan and then don’t go overboard. If you do go over that doesn’t make you a bad person it makes you HUMAN! Don’t beat yourself up simply move on, stay positive and get back onto the plan.
5. My last tip to stop yourself from snacking is to drink plenty of water. Fill yourself up with lots and lots of water each day as this will not only help and have so many other benefits but will also assist a great deal in filling you up for longer.
