In this episode, we're talking about the late-night snacking urge that not only undermines your weight loss efforts but disrupts your sleep as well.

To start, we're looking at three common scenarios: 

  • Mindless snacking while watching TV
  • Giving in to cravings after being "good" all day
  • Using food as a form of stress relief

Perspective Shift: Instead of focusing on late-night snacking as the problem, let's view it as a symptom. In other words, instead of treating the symptom, let's identify the root causes so we can develop real solutions.

In addition to providing some practical tips, we take a closer look at the physiological and psychological triggers for cravings, what causes "food noise" and the role of sleep procrastination.
