Question

Answer 1

Hot tea or water with skinny syrup or other approved water enhancers.

Ice cream was my evening weakness. Protein shake with an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder and lots of ice helped.

@hulett unfortunately, cocoa powder isn’t protocol.

Answer 14

I save a “sweet” IP for an evening snack, vanilla square or something similar. My dessert really helps .  

Answer 15

I save my snack (a bar) for the evenings before bed.  

Answer 16

I love sipping ice cold water - slowly and constantly (just trickling down my throat) it refocuses my thoughts of the sensation vs the thought of eating.  

Answer 17

Drink water. A lot of people don’t even realize that they are in a state of dehydration. Sometimes when you think you are hungry it’s nothing more than your body telling you that it needs water.  

Answer 18

Chocolate caramel mug cake ❤️

Answer 19

Cucumber and red peppers

Answer 20

Often hunger is really other things. For me evening munchies are about boredom. I need something to occupy me when I am sitting watching TV. I generally save a snack for eve, but doing something with my hands (knitting, crochet) or staying busy, drinking tea, eating celery if I want crunchy snacks are all things that help me. Figure out what is going on for you. It may not be actual hunger but habit, emotions, boredom and knowing will lead u to dif solutions. If you search posts for hunger you will prob find lots of posts about this.  

Answer 21

I am right there with you!  

Answer 22

Go to bed early!  

Answer 23

I like the celestial seasonings Apple Cinnamon Spice tea. I would make a large cup and sip on it. No caffeine and it smells wonderful. Same thing in car rides.
