For the thousand’s time you give yourself a promise to no longer eat before the bedtime. But the closer the night the more you want a snack. Before your eyes now and then pop up “tasty” pictures, and the legs themselves are dragging you to the refrigerator. A little later, after committing the “crime”, you have a sense of hopelessness, the culinary heart-rending images are replaced by visions of your swelling belly and thighs. Familiar, does not it? Think you can do nothing about it? Yes, you can! Our tips will help you through these “hard” times.

1. Deceive your stomach with some bevarage. Drink a glass of mineral water with a slice of lemon, tomato juice or a cup of green tea. Liquid will fill up your empty stomach and blunt the feeling of hunger.

2. Take a hot bath. It reduces appetite, relaxes. The increased sweating at the same time will help you to remove the excess body fluid from your body.

3. Physical exercise will distract you from the eating obsession and getting to the refrigerator. Besides, it will help burn a few calories. In addition, immediately after the exercise appetite decreases. But do not overdo it, because perhaps then it will be hard to fall asleep.

4. Right after after dinner, treat yourself with a light dessert, such as fruit, low fat yogurt, a small piece of dark chocolate. This will lift your mood, and aftertaste will help in fighting with your appetite.
