So guys and gals, what do yall do about the midnight munchies?

Ever since my last DNP run based around TGiving, overall hunger body request has exponentially increased. Typically, Id have my normal meals around the same time, same everything, yada yada yada no issue. Now, its like Im hungry every 2hrs (yes I know, sometimes the body just needs some more - which I have also done to see if it helps but still hungry). Now, my work schedule has changed up a bit as to timing in the gym - typically it was breakfast, lunch, lunch, gym, PWO, dinner. Now its Breakfast, lunch, gym, PWO, lunch dinner, and minor snack. But Im also waking up about every 2hrs during the night starved as mofo - being diabetic, i do watch what i eat during the night and if it is low- still watch due to those binge raids during the low sugar the body likes to do. Recently been trying to eat some extra PB but thats gone out the window as itll end up catching up quick. I know the fat in it helps prolong but damn, hard to not eat too much of it. Anyways, any one else have suggestions on this? Thought maybe going back to some Fat Free CC or Greek Yogurt right before bed so its more solid and holds. Cuz waking up 2-3x a night between 11 and 630 gonna add up quick. Been eating raw dang veggies during the night to hold it from eating a full meal.

When I need a binge, my go-to is oat bran sesame sticks. Gives me some texture, bit of fiber and honestly don't taste nearly as bad as oat bran sesame sticks might sound.

I get 'em in bulk off Amazon.

Little bit of a different answer but I’ve found yohombine smooths out my appetite considerably.

Take it fasted (18-20mg and not the 2mg they recommend)

Not hungry for 10-12 hours.

+1 for casein. Also rice cakes, and 100 cal popcorn bag. Another thing I do for snacks is slice tomatoes. I have them sitting in Tupperware container (fridge of course) with mixture that is white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, s&p. Water and sugar to balance out the acidity.

yeah Im a huge texture person. triscuits used to be my thing until i kept finding id eat the whole damn box im not careful. the thing with these is the fact they are small... ill end up eating a handful and then as im putting that bag up...ill grab more. the carbs will get me lolz

Greek yoghurt and choc casein protein before bed, if that fails sibutramine

Yeah Ive thought about going back to the greek yogurt... the consistency of it sucks. never actually put the casein in it, havent taken casein since college (grad 11). cottage cheese always was decent consistency until i got a bad batch.

yeah Ive see a few mention Yo on a few different things. fasted tho... when the hell am i ever fasted lolz. I def need to eat tho would be the thing about the not being hungry, i just need it from like 12-7am. that or stay the F asleep

big ass bowl of organic raisin bran or organic honey & oats medley cereal 230am everyday like clockwork

i get enough fiber..i dont want to be sheeting no more. not a huge fan of cereal due to the beetus. that and i dont remember the last time i drank milk

rice cakes - just cant do it. air texture cardboard plus the carbs in it. hate popcorn. ( i told yall... im weird). tomatoes - i eat those all the time. except i buy pounds of Roma tomatoes at WalMart all the time, toss in fridge and thats actually some of the snack grabs I eat in the middle of the night as its decent enough texture/density to help but not overwhelming to where you feel like a lard laying back down. no dressings tho, just straight tomato.

Right now its raw cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, roma tomatoes, glucose tabs (when needed), PB or PB2 with spoon of sugar free jelly and 45 cal bread (1slice fold). if need texture, will grab a few triscuits.... or find some left overs from dinner the wife didnt eat.

I've found that an increase in fiber intake makes a substantial difference in my appetite.

Fiber slows gastric emptying, which leads to an increased duration in the feeling of "being full".

As such, make sure that every meal you eat contains a substantial (10++g) amount of fiber. Furthermore, if you've gotta snack, snack on fibrous foods like raw veg, grains, etc.

I mentioned yohimbine fasted just because it helps release fatty acids into the bloodstream. Insulin undoes it. Still works but you want to separate it if possible.

I've always found midnight munchies are best relieved by eating ass. It's organic, gluten free and it won't fk up your blood sugar. You could go with NS idea about sesame sticks to cleanse the palate.

Plus ass-eating is anabolic. Good plan.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Except trust me, I aint got no issues with the amount of fiber. I pile with veggies all the time to try and help stay fuller "longer". now its too much fiber

well its got nothing medical behind it or reaction to substance added so.... def.
