Nix these behaviors before bedtime to reach your weight loss goals.
Don’t worrywe aren’t going to tell you to stop eating after 5 p.m. Maybe it’s a cheese board at happy hour or a pint of ice cream before bed.
You aren’t alone.

And nixing this habit is easier than you think.
“This way, you aren’t feeling ravenous come clock out.
“You risk losing track of how much you’ve eaten.”
Before you know it, you could consume a meal’s worth of calories.
The later you stay up, the more hours there are to eat.
Plus, most people don’t reach for the healthiest snacks late at night.
Of course, if you feel hungry, you should eat.
But setting a bedtime routine can help prevent nighttime noshing that might keep you from losing weight.
Opening the Fridge Without a Plan
Physical hunger isn’t the only reason we eat.
Next, make a plan.
Or perhaps having dessert hummuswhich is packed with protein with a hint of sweetnessyou could dip fruit in.”
There’s no need to feel guilt or shame if things don’t go as planned.
The Bottom Line
The best path to weight loss is to make your habits sustainable.
