Close Your Kitchen After Dinner

If your New Year's resolution to lose weight isn't panning out, take a look at your evening-snacking habits. Nighttime noshing often means munching hundreds of junk-food calories while catching up on episodes of Homeland or Game of Thrones. Julie Upton, MS, RD, of Appetite For Health says to try closing your kitchen after dinner and allow yourself only water or tea after you've finished your last meal, which should be at least two hours before bedtime. Making late-night snacking not even an option will prevent having "just one bite" from turning into a second supper.

If you find that you're truly hungry after dinner, make sure your day includes three meals and one to two 150-calorie snacks. Every time you eat, include protein, fiber, and healthy fats to keep you full, as well as carbs to sustain your energy. Fueling all day will keep hunger away after dinner.
