Evening snacks is after 4 hours of lunch and before 3 hours of dinner. I have dinner at 9.00pm and don’t eat anything after that ..Have you tried not having any food after dinner? What kind of snack are you having?
Everyone's situation is of course going to be slightly different, but fasting for 12-14 hours each day helped me lower the numbers. So no evening snacks for me. If the number was too high before bed, I would do a few exercises with weights to bring it down before going to sleep.

What time to you go to bed/sleep?
9 pm is late for an evening meal in the UK.
Many don't eat after 4 pm to allow the meal to be fully digested before bed time between 10 pm and midnight.
Sounding carb heavy to meIt’s some Indian snacks item like a mixture of peanuts, sometimes nutri choice biscuits.
I wake up at around 8am and breakfast would be around 10am.. my schedule is little changed because of the baby . I am still breastfeeding so need to have food..Sounding carb heavy to me
Also as this is a fairly late dinner and bed what time is rising and breakfast? The longer you can make this period of not eating the better really. If that’s not feasible can you increase lunch and maybe delay that, to you keep to just meals rather than need snacks too
I would try intermediate fasting as soon as I complete the six months of breastfeeding to the baby. As of now I am trying to go on low carb .. I have cauli rice for lunch and dinner ..Hi @Reemap
many drop down to one meal a day
me i get 2 meals a day.
the thinking is just like us, our bodies (in this case our insides) don't really want to be working all the time,
so a time of rest is good for them.
If we aren't shoveling in food 24/7 they get to shut down the insulin production and sit and chill.
the longer that goes on ( aka fasting) the better for them and the sooner they get back to a normal level.
early days i think that's hard to do..because we are still hungry later on
I found for me, that if i ate a meal 7pm
where i wouldn't normally have anything because i could eat later on.
i then started having a pudding..Yoghurt and blueberries
i then moved onto low sugar jelly and double cream
that left me full at that one sitting, so my insulin production kicked in, but that was it for the night as i was sated.
next morning i try to eat later in day, 11am..so that fast is from 7/8pm until 11am next day
so insulin, liver etc all had a god rest overnight.
So the snacks might just hold you back a little.
but great progress so far.

In which case I’d increase breakfast, delay lunch and have more there too and then have dinner. Don’t forget if dropping carbs you need to increase fats to keep you feeling full for longer. And don’t forget you’ll probably need to increase fluids when going lower carb, especially important when breastfeeding.I wake up at around 8am and breakfast would be around 10am.. my schedule is little changed because of the baby .
