Great video. Evening eating is my downfall and while momentarily satisfying, causes me stress and disappointment in myself. My stopper, when I apply, is brush and floss my teeth and rinse with a minty mouthwash. After all that, I will not eat. Thanks for this nudge.
So true about late night snacking becoming a habit - had not accepted how much it impacts weight control or lack of it - now 22lbs down after years of midnight snacking! Super video from Becky - as always.
I struggle with this. It’s like my body is fighting the let down period of the where you get tired and want some energy in the form of food. And your more vulnerable cause your tired. Easier to make bad decisions.
Tea has nvr worked for me but Mayb I'll try peppermint tea since she also recommended mint gum and someone has recommended brushing teeth. Ugh! I need something to help.
gosh, I used to be addicted to chewing gum 😂in my experience, what ultimately freed me from nighttime eating was getting free from what was driving me to food in the first place. It was a deeper approach that got to the root of the problem instead of focusing on controlling my diet.
I must confess I love late night eating because it has a "party" feel to it. I am a "worker bee" type so nighttime is my first real relaxation time where I get to sit and enjoy food. I know it's something to remove from my routine...maybe I need to make lunch time my party? LOL
@@JessiemGolden Yes, I am sure late night eating works for some folks, like my husband! But I will definitely start packing on weight if I snack at night and then go to bed on a full tummy. There's no worry I am not eating enough since I'm a person who enjoys food. At 62 yrs. I feel using IF and keeping myself empty for 12+ hrs each day is useful and easier than restricting my food choices. I like the 80/20 rule but as I get older perhaps I should lean more towards 90/10. One does get away with less and less....don't you think?
@@JessiemGolden I checked you out and subscribed though I am overwhelmed with my own project. I wrote a children's vegetable cookbook-I go so tired of children's cookbooks being so "princess" dessert oriented. Check out my Fb posts on 4 Ways to Yummy! Good luck to you!
If you have a good dinner then feeling hungry late at night is a trick. That’s what I tell my self; this is a trick and it will go away shortly. Hang in there. Our body is trained to want late snacks/rewards. Once you know the tricks, you can use reason to over power them. Good luck.
Thanks Dr Becky. Drinking enough water helps me also. Plus after my last meal I will eat a square or two of Camino baker chocolate. Yes, it’s bitter, but I have grown to really like the taste.
Hi Dr.Becky I found your channel over a year ago. I had great success with keto. I was 60 pounds over weight, blood pressure through the roof and felt horrible. Keto was the answer for me and your videos and advice helped me so much. I lost the 60 pounds, lowered my BP and felt great. I had some things happen in my life and let it all go. I've gained 40 of those pounds back. I have decided to get back on track. I do great during the day but now there's a new phenomenon plaguing me. I get up at midnight or one o'clock in the morning and binge eat. What is going on? Why is this happening to me?
I think that she answers this question in the video. She recommends that 50% of your dinner calories come from fat. I am preparing to start the fast 800 diet. Dr. Michael Mosley who wrote the book says it's very important to not have any of your high temptation foods in your. For me that means no chocolate in the house, no crackers are other high-carb snacks. What's supposed to happen is that once my insulin system normalizes, I will be able to have that sort of food around without binge eating.
You are awesome, informative, to the point, and show what people like to see and hear in terms of health, being fit, what to consume, and what to avoid. God bless you doctor !
Thank you, your tips have helped me to fine tune my weight loss program. I have had two obstacles hard to get through. My morning glucose was always high while rest of day it ran normal. Even after loss of over 40 lbs. I followed your advice of stop eating 3 hours before going to bed attempting 12/12 fast. It helped along with using Berberine advice from 2 fitdocs video. Thanks again. Trying bulletproof coffee, quite tasty! Yum.
Great video. I am intermittent fasting. I've been having issues with late night snacking after allowing myself to snack a few times. It has been hard to get back to the schedule and has thrown off my hunger cues. I am here now trying to stop from devouring snacks lol. I think I shall try some tea :) the you!!!
I'm reading between the lines of your thinking ... "now to apply it" .... to me this sounds like ... something I'll do later. Now, is a good time bc you may find yourself needing to begin again, and again, and again until you can adjust your body and your mind. If you haven't already tried this ... try a period of IF (fasting) time. Start one morning by not eating and see how long you can go (do it on your day off from work). For me exercise or work that is physical take the craving away. Good luck.
thank you so much for this video! all other videos i saw gave soo much tittle-tattle and were extremely loud/ Your video was concise, straightfoward, and reassuring!
Glad to know you can use something as a stopper. I use chocolate, prefer semi sweet bakers chocolate. A small piece gives me the “reward” and I am done. Feel completed. Maybe some mineral water and I am all good. Good intel here!👍👍😎
I seriously think Im addicted to chocolate. If i have one Hershey Kiss….here comes the entire quaker oats chocolate rice cake bag! It really feels like addiction.
At bedtime when I'm wrapped up cozy in my bed before falling asleep is when I just want to snack. Snacking enhances the coziness feeling...if that makes sense. Lol 😅
Good evening Dr Becky... Growing up my grandmother's would give us a bit of mint to chew..I've continuously have done as such with my family.. Thank you for your suggestions it's greatly appreciated.. Sincerely Tee Jay
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💕 I’m struggling with this and the reason is because I work a long shift - I may go into work at 1 PM and not leave work until midnight. And on top of that I’m a Co manager of a very large grocery store. With that being said, if I eat dinner at 6 PM or 7 PM. I have five hours of work left to do and it’s impossible for me not to eat another thing until the next morning. I’m hungry when I get off work. And it isn’t a fake hungry like, oh drink some water and you’ll see the hunger will go away. It’s real hunger. Especially when I try to stick really close to a healthy diet such as eating a large salad for dinner. I am starving when I get off work. Not sure how to incorporate IF with this situation. Can you help me?
Overall good video. Nice background and foreground. Well covered info. and to the point. People will benefit from following this in a nutshell info. Though, weight loss has never been an issue for me. My focus is more on staying true to a healthy (KETO-LIKE DIET w/ IF) diet, maintaining proper calories intake, and keeping and/or gaining muscle tone/mass. Avoiding and aiding the pain people experience from many decades on earth.
Fabulous DB, as usual. I personally don't normally have a prob with late-night snacking anymore. It was, as you said, a 'learned behavior.' But through IFing and the low-carb high-fat dinners, I am fine. Cause you showed me the way to go.
Can you also do a video on managing gestational diabetes, given that fasting is not an optimal solution while your baby is growing. Does high fat, low carb still work then? Constricted stomach make one eat smaller frequent meals.
Love these little clips keeps you on track... Just a thought has anyone seen on Netflix... What the health... I watched it open mouthed what the docs where saying about sugar carbs ect
thanks for plenty of good information on low carb diet. advice on lowcarb diet nightshift work be appreciated. what low carb food be perfect for nightshift workers?
I've heard people say, Less fat more greens. Also a modified kept diet that included baked sweet potatoes. Google potato politics for gout by Barbara O'Neal
I have chronic insomnia due to fibromyalgia. Last 15 years have fallen a sleep 4-5 am, hence getting hungry 1am. My stomach hurts but I. Can’t do anything
Hi Dr. Becky. I am 46 and gaining belly fat and around my butt and hips. I live in a country where if I ask my doctor about my problems he would just tell me it' normal. I want answers. What I want to know is that while I have always been active and mostly watch what I eat, I always read about estrogen dominance although estrogen levels drop. Then we are encouraged to eat estrogen rich foods. What do we eat. Should we be having dried fruits, flax etc. Are they good estrogens? Maybe it's not estrogen but low progesterone cause whatever I eat, even cruciferous veggies I cant resolve my weight gain. What's your opinion on flax. Thanks so much.
My wife Stefanie eats at night but you'd never know it she's dropped in gorgeous but she still wants to cut it off at the pass before it catches up. So yea she's smart too.
Well , eating vegetables 🌶 makes me full for an hour or 2. If I eat bread I feel full for 4 hours at least , so I don’t understand the science, it doesn’t apply in my case ...
2:30 "Carbs also break down into glucose which spikes insulin" while this is true this is very misleading. Protein and fat also break down into glucose and protein also spikes insulin, just in a (usually) shallower way. The solution isn't more fat and less carbs, it's switching to wholefoods (complex carbs), adding fibre, eating carbs last etc and generally being more mindful of what you're eating and how. There's a reason the medical establishment has preached about less processed foods and more wholefoods for so long rather than just recommending higher fat or protein diets.
Unfortunately, everything said in this video is common knowledge, and does not answer the question at all, it does not help to stop late night snacking. It only explains why one shouldn’t, which is readily available knowledge and common sense. If that was all it would take, nobody would late night snack or binge anymore.
What helped me to ultimately get completely free from late night eating and snacking wasn't a food or diet focused approach at all. it was getting free from what was driving me to food in the first place. It sounds like you're also seeking a deeper solution so wanted to share my experience.

Have a shower. It is the place where you are safe from food and drink plus showering helps to wind down and relax before having an early night
Great video. Evening eating is my downfall and while momentarily satisfying, causes me stress and disappointment in myself. My stopper, when I apply, is brush and floss my teeth and rinse with a minty mouthwash. After all that, I will not eat. Thanks for this nudge.
Brushing your teeth right after a meal helps me. It a physical demarcation exercise.
I agree. Works for me better than anything else.
I never did that before 😅
omg, i will do this now!
.... *Laughs in having no teeth* hehehe why
Good idea, ima try that

I'm the same
Tea is my favorite “snack” if I get a sweet craving. Peppermint or Egyptian licorice tea are my favorite.
Tea has nvr worked for me but Mayb I'll try peppermint tea since she also recommended mint gum and someone has recommended brushing teeth. Ugh! I need something to help.
Curving my appetite through day is so simple. But nighttime kills me!!!!!the mint gum is the only thing I haven't tried so here we go

A high fibre diet (still low carb) can help ie. one that is rich in leafy vegetables
