Hi WannaLoseRealBad and welcome to ADBB!

Yes...I know about the late night eating, I had the same problem.

I'll tell you right now, it'll be difficult for the first few days...just like breaking any other bad habit. Just work really hard to spread out your 20 carbs through the day dont save them all (or majority) for your evening meal...so you won't experience blood sugar spikes right after dinner and into the evening. And another trick until you lose that "evening munchie habit"...go to bed a bit earlier...just go to bed, really...it helps!

Don't forget to include a lot of water and get your daily exercise in! There are Exercise Challenges going on all of the time, so join in and have some fun!

Hope to see you around the board!

congratulations on making a huge step thats going to change your whole life! ONe thing I learned, and I probably say this over and over on this site, but this is a LIFESTYLE change you have to make. I was aweful, eating when depressed, when bored, and oh buddy did I have the night time bingeing as well. I got so disgusted at myself that I am more determined now than I ever have with losing weight. Been going to curves, and absolutely love it. You truly have to keep your head in the goal of your direction (one bit of that ____ ) can set you back to the begging, again. We can do it! It will be a week on Tuesday since I started induction and I'm down 8.5 lbs! I cannot believe it! I feel so much lighter and my mental state is so much healthier. Drink lots and lots of water. I read somewhere on here you want to drink half your weight in oz of water. I weighed 300 when I started here and I drink around 100 oz of water.. that's not even enough yet! It's crazy. But it will definitely be a benefit to helping you with your weight. I've had to set a rule for myself. At night, I do NOT go into the kitchen. Also, I've worked so hard with my will power and I don't eat past 7-7:30 at the latest. That's made a huge impact with my weight, it's unreal! Anyways.. just wanted to share some things that have been working for me... have strength and will power.. WE all can do it!

I just got back on it to and its a great diet!Be sure to read the induction info,i just yesterday found out you should stay away from the advantage bars witch really blows because the only reason i ait them was because they were easy for me at work .But i still lost 7pnds in 5 days ,i just think it could have been more? If you choose to eat them read about what others went through .And just do it one day at a time it gets so easy,im on day 6 and headaches way over with i feel great and my appetite is gone i have to try to remember to eat!This will be you soon, Dodi
