"8:00 p.m. is the time of day that cravings are most likely to strike." Study cited in October Health magazine
Instead of trying to resist these evening cravings, choose something healthy instead. Air-popped popcorn or fruit and vegetables are a good choice. My daughter introduced me to a ready-to-eat popcorn that is tasty, Skinny Pop, with just 39 calories per cup and no trans fats. It is not as good as fresh, hot popcorn, but it is convenient and tasty. I often have a small bowl in the evening. I also might have a small handful of nuts. A recent Danish study showed that people who ate 25% of their total calories from protein lost the most weight in a diet program, versus people who ate just 12% protein. Good sources of protein are Greek yogurt, nuts, lentils and cooked salmon.
