late night cravings

Here is how I deal with hunger - I mix up a qaurt of crystal lite, ad a complimentary flavor protein powder and sip on it. having a large, green salad at dinner will help fill you up, along with a good size seving of lean protein - 4-6 oz and a naked sweet potato or some brown rice. Some lowfat cottage cheese as an evening snack is okay, or try some low or no-fat riccotta cheese mixed with coca powder and splenda - pretty tasty treat.

I've started going for a walk around 9pm, just around the block-takes about 20min and it seems to help keep me in check until the walk and my munchies aren't so bad afterwards. My kids have even started to join me, so double bonus! Asimmers snack alternatives are great ones as well. -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

There are other flavors you can put in but i can't remeber them (i found them in the recipies section of the "south Beach" diet book)
