I WILL: Break Up with My Midnight Snacks

We’ve all snuck into the kitchen for something tasty after the lights go out. Unfortunately, eating a night can double your risk of obesity. That’s because your metabolism goes to bed when you do, which means that some of the calories you ingest right before sleep get stored for later — as fat.

That’s not all: disrupting your eating habits by indulging in a midnight snack or skipping breakfast throws everything out of whack and often results in you eating more than you otherwise would.

Start Small: Close your kitchen within an hour after eating dinner.

Finish Remarkable: Make dinner your last food of the day. Enjoy a crisp glass of water or a warm cup of herbal tea if a craving arises.
