Curbing late night cravings

Do you crave something sweet or salty late at night? 

 

In the book, Tip-A-Day Guide for Healthy Living gives the suggestion to brush your teeth to help curb those late night cravings.  By doing this you'll be less likely to eat because:

 

• The disinfectant like taste in your mouth will ruin your appetite for snack foods
• If you give in, the snack foods won't taste good because of the aftertaste
• You won't have to brush your teeth again before bed.

 If you're feeling serious hunger pangs and you need something extra, try a sensible evening snack. Have on hand for easy snacking; fruit, nuts, raw veggies, milk, whole grain cereal, and string cheese. 

 

It's best to keep your after-dinner snack choices healthy since you won't be burning many calories as you sleep through the night. For those of us who are tempted to fatty, sugary, and salty foods in the evening, brushing your teeth will do wonders!
