Is Nighttime Noshing Okay?
Is Nighttime Noshing Okay?
This Q& A is from the July Issue of The South Beach Diet? Newsletter.
I know that several healthy eating plans advise cutting out nighttime snacking. Should I stop eating at a certain time in the evening? ? Susan C., Toronto, ON
Good news: You don't have to give up nighttime snacks. However, the problem with nighttime snacking is that it usually involves "mindless eating": sitting in front of the TV consuming food in large quantities without giving it much thought. The principals of The South Beach Diet? actually encourage a healthy snack to help stabilize blood sugar and prevent binging. You'll find this particularly helpful when you're still getting hunger and cravings under control during Phase 1. Try raw veggies, nuts, cottage cheese, sliced lean meats, and hummus ? even a ricotta cr?me. Stay away from anything high in sugar, refined flour, or saturated fat, and limit portion size to one serving whenever possible.
