The Power Of Late-Night Snacking
Liz Swann Miller | October 31, 2017
You’re staring at your computer screen with weary eyes. Dinner has
come and gone, but that oh-so-familiar beast we call Hunger has reeled
its damn head again. But you can’t snack after eight o’clock, right?
That’s weight loss rule number one. Or is it?
I’m about to share with you some helpful truths for a situation of this kind.
There’s an ironic flipside to my mostly honorable label of ‘Liz Swann
Miller – Weight Loss Expert’. I must strictly resign myself to the
continuous expectation the general public attributes to the title – that
I have it together.
Liz would never gain excessive amounts of weight. Liz would never
give in to that looming golden M on the highway. Liz doesn’t snack late
at night. How does Liz do it?
Let me tell you a secret. Liz struggles. Liz feels the exact temptations you feel, and resists the exact pulls you resist.
As this ‘Weight Loss Expert’, I often need to remind myself not only
to pursue a healthy lifestyle in order to fulfill the expectation of my
title and my career, but for my optimal wellbeing.
The temptation, for me, is at its worst late at night, during that
time when I’vesupposedly declared eating over, yet I’m fighting hunger,
bleary-eyed, answering hundreds of emails from clients seeking advice
for topics such as this.
Firstly – it’s important to note that hunger is a basic survival instinct – and we must be grateful for it. The fact that it exists is an amazing
feat in itself. Don’t be ashamed. Just know how to appease the beast.
There are those who claim the most effective diets are those which
have you eating only two meals a day, and drinking water for the rest. I
strongly encourage you to ignore these methods, as they are not
sustainable.
The secret is snacking. And I don’t mean digging around in a bag of
chips and licking the salt off your fingers (we’ve all been there), I
mean pouring yourself a bowl of organic nuts.Or blueberries. Or frozen
peas. Be inventive, but clever about it. Choose the right food in
moderation.
But let’s talk about the late-night secret. It’s simple. And easy. Are you ready for it?
Okay. It’s a cup of tea. Don’t underestimate those three words. Not
to drink immediately before bed, but rather in the gap between dinner
and sleep.
My go-to is the always delicious, always sufficient
Red Tea.
It satisfies the hunger itch, but leaves me feeling clean, calm and
revitalized, primarily due to its detoxifying properties. And it’s
caffeine free – so don’t fear, you won’t be bouncing from the walls.
After my extensive studies around fat-burning solutions, the myths
and the answers, I created this tea with ingredients selected carefully
for late night cravings and overall weight loss (you can find the recipe
in the link below). The benefits are endless, but the solution is
simple.
Set yourself a challenge. I’ll be right there with you. Ditch the
chips, the ice cream, and the guilty pleasure cheese blocks. Get the
kettle bubbling and pour yourself a steaming mug of Red Tea. I guarantee
– you will fall in love with the taste – and late night cravings will
be a beast of the past.
