I am often in mylot after 12.00 in night and because this late hour i get hungry and i go to eat little..."little"...but the more i eat the more i want..lol...well,in my case maybe is not a tragedy because still i need to gain 2 kg,but in general it is certainly a bad bad thing to do. According to a medical study, one should not eat after 6-7pm. If you hungry then try to eat fruits, otherwise you will get
fat easily.
Do you eat late in night even you know is not good?

I never eat after 12:00 at night .
Actually I will go to sleep before 10:00 pm.
I could not stay at computer so long time and I don't have a computer at home .
if I really hungry, I might go to eat something at night .
but it is really hard to healthy .
so I will try my best to control myself not do it.

well i also have to admit that i have this bad habit, but not like you, i need to loss a few pounds and it is not the right way to losing them. LOl.
My main problem is that i sleep very little, maximum three hours at night. so the main hours that i am in the peak of my energy levels are between midnight to 3 a.m. and i always get hungry at those hours.
I did hear also that it is not good to eat at those hours, and that it is not good to go to sleep with a full stomach, but what can i do, i am hungry. Lol.
Maybe that will change, with the work and studies now, maybe i will be able to start sleeping normally and have a normal day routine, and then i won't start eating at those bizarre hours. well wish my luck with this. :)

Hello,augustta,I always like to eat some snacks,i will pick up a chocolate any time i want, most of the time when I am on the net, i will do so,sometimes it may be after 12:00. It is not good to eat at the night time as your digestive power is getting weaker at this time and the food may remain undigested in your body for long time which is not good for health.May be that is why i always gain weight.lol.
You told me you want to gain weight ,may be you can eat more at the night time then.

Trust me my stomach is little i guess because i eat and fast i am full...but still to eat in night is bad,because your body need the quiet to "work" and procesing all the information from the day ....and for sure my livery will not "thank me"...

i do believe it's just natural for us to do so. especially when in forums like myLot. like our brains are working and we need to eat to replenish. it's just feeding our brain. so, let's not feel guilty about it. hehe.

lol why is it that food always taste better after 12, i know its bad to eat at night but there are times when i don't eat all day and late at night is when i go in the kitchen and make me something to eat.
Although i have been trying to stop this habit lately since i'm trying to lose all this baby fat but i guess i do it because whenever i'm awake till the middle of the night which is most nights i just get the munchies

I rarely have such a late supper after midnight.
But during times when I do, I ty to have something that's light and easy of my digestive system. For example soya bean curd. Anything heavy would make me feel rather ill since it's such a late hour. Moreover, I wouldn't be able to sleep well.

This is a very bad habit for me!!! it seems like as soon as night time rolls around i'm starving and i eat quite a bit from like 11 pm to 2 am lol, its horrible and i know its wrong but in the day time i am not hungry at all. i try sometimes to eat a lot in the morning to maybe curb my nightly eating habits but dont work i think because i am so used to this!!!

Yes I have found that ever since Ive been a member of mylot, I have had the hunger pangs around midnight, wether its a need for more engery to stay awake and make posts lol or something else but I refuse to eat at this time, because not long after I will sleep, and be very uncomfortable.

hi Augusta. I will try not to eat after 12. In fact I don't really eat late at night apart from a little snack. I do sometimes eat later than 6-7 pm though. It's fine in your case if you have to gain some weight. I think it is good advice usually not to eat after those times, but this is not always going to be practical or useful to everyone. It is just a guideline, and occasionally to have supper will not do any harm. Best wishes.

I try not to eat anything after 8pm generally but here lately dinner has been later and later and I have no real excuse cause I am home full time now since tax season is over. Like now I have quiche in the oven and it is 7:25 pm it is almost done though. I need to try to motivate myself earlier at like 5 or 6 to start on dinner and then eat nothing after that.

IF I have already gone to sleep I don't wake up in the middle of the night to eat, but if I am still awake, it's not unusual for me to fix myself a late night snack, or have a drink. I just made myself some left over pasta, and when I wanted something to drink, I poured myself a glass of vodka.
