I BELIEVE WE CAN ALL RELATE TO THIS ... Snacking late at night has been known to derail even my most motivated and disciplined clients and, believe it or not, we’re all hardwired to do it. According to the landmark work of Roy Baumeister and Dianne M. Tice at Florida State University, humans have a limited supply of willpower, and the ability to resist temptation is limited by available blood glucose. In plain English: Our willpower is weak when we’re hungry, making it tough to resist snacking. After a full day of making healthy choices, your willpower reserves are low—another reason why it feels nearly impossible to battle late-night munchies. But there’s hope: Baumeister’s and Tice’s research also shows it’s possible to train your willpower just like a muscle. Which means, getting into the habit of resisting night noshing will make you better at resisting those midnight snack attacks overtime. Here are some “dos” and “don’ts” my clients find helpful for avoiding the ice cream, boosting willpower, and staying focused on good nutrition habits—give ‘em a shot! https://blog.myfitnesspal/so-you-want-to-stop-snacking-late-at-night/?utm_source=mfp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sywts&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRoku6zOZKXonjHpfsX96%2BwoWKaylMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DTMBjI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFSrTFMblm0LgLXhM%3D
