Hello. I understand healthy eating fairly well. I can eat healthy all day (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, etc.), but at about 7-9 PM it strikes me. Cravings for all the unhealthy junk. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of these awful cravings? I usually crave carbs and sweets at the end of the day. One trick that I have heard of and used that a lot of you could use if you're looking for ways to help the cravings is to brush your teeth as soon as you get the cravings. Your mouth will be minty and you won't want to eat all the bad junk food. Does anyone have any other ways to help get rid of these cravings for carbs, salty foods, and sweets? Please let me know. Thank you!

Hi. I have the same issue. I can do pretty well for most of the day, then late evening hits and I'm starving and only want junk. It's more of a habit than anything, I think, at least for me. And sitting in front of the TV makes it way worse for me (again, bad habit).

I like the idea of brushing your teeth. I need to try that. I've also heard to paint your nails (if that's an option for you), even if it's just clear... not so easy to dig into a bag of chips then.

Good luck!
