HELP! LATE LATE NIGHTS & SNACKING

Post by Cyndy »

I need some suggestions please!  I get up around 9 AM, but don't go to sleep until 4 AM or so .  I have insomnia almost constantly. However I get hungry after "snack time". To be exact, in the wee hours of the morning.  What is safe for me to eat?  I don't want to slow my weight loss by snacking on the "wrong" foods or over snacking.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance!  :kiss:

Have a glorious and blessed day!

You'll have to try the pies.  Mash up a banana, add blueberries or the fruit of choice, about 1 1/2 or 2 cups, cinnamon and mix.  Be sure to put in a large bowl as it boils up.  I make mine in a pie plate and it does very well.  I microwave for 5 minutes.....others cook them for less time but I guess you will need to experiment to find what works best for you..... it helps to thicken them up if you cook it longer.....have made this with strawberries cherries and peaches (don't like blueberries)  and find I like peach the best.  I also add just a little oatmeal to the peach pie.......enjoy

My 2 fav's are blueberry pie and apple pie.  First I mash 1 banana in the bottom of a deep glass bowl,  Then pour on 2 cups of frozen blueberries OR 2 peeled and sliced apples.  I microwave longer for the apple pie, about 5 minutes and only about 4 for blueberry.  I stir and add splenda and cinnamon to taste after cooking.  This is very filling and a wonderful evening snack!  It feels like a cheat!  *woot*
