[QUOTE="Beagler, post: 1414720, member: 326827"] Hi, I have exactly the same problem, late night snacking is the bane of my life. I am a severely overweight pre-diabetic. At the moment I am struggling with 5:2, gave up on the blood sugar diet as I couldn't keep away from the food enough. About the only thing that helps is going to bed early. If I am not in the kitchen, I can't nibble! Having "only healthy snacks" available was useless, it just gave me an excuse to eat them. I gave up cooking low-carb biscuits etc after I realised that. I have learnt that a brisk walk after supper does wonders for my blood sugar, which helps a great deal with snacking. There seems to be a nasty sort of vicious circle there: too many carbs, high blood sugar, lethargy/brain fog, snacking...and round again. My only suggestion would be to keep a notebook - food, carbs, appetite, blood sugar results - and see if you can spot any trends. I found it very very tedious, but it did help me see the "circle" above. I can't always break out of it at the time, but at least I understand why it happens! [/QUOTE]
