How can i stop him

acer5540 hi Is your hubby overweight or diabetic? Why not have him eat healthy snacks, apples are okay, chips no, chocolate is actually good for you, why not nuts, a handful of nuts has a lot of good protein and omega 3 a nd 6 oils in them that are good for you. Its hard to stop a man from snacking but I had the opposite problem my hubby was always a bit too thin but he did not like to snack which was what the doctor wanted him to do. as a diabetic if I do not have an evening snack, I risk getting very low blood sugar in the middle of the night. Another idea, maybe he is dehydrated and is thinking he is hungry when its really thirst, make sure he gets his 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, that might fill him up and break the snack habit.

hi acer. my husband is a night snacker too..but he control his rice at night, and he also do a lot of exercise.yes, its a habbit.. I think you should lessen his rice at night, its for his own good, as a wife we are concern to our husband's health, so try to talk and make him understand that too much intake at night might cause obesity,and gain so much weight.,hmmm you can invite him out for a walk after dinner,30 minutes will do.Good luck.

Hi Acer: I and my husband are night snackers. Now it is a habit and watching our weight is a problem. I think it started out of boredom. Think about it. Sitting in front of a television night after night. Can you get him involved in some activity that gets him off the couch? Something that the two of you can participate in.

It sounds like you have gotten some good advice about things to do other than snacking and also about healthy snacks. Snacking is a habit that we all get into. Maybe a good foot rub or something would take his mind off snacks, or he could give you a foot rub. Card games can be fun or music, or why not dancing together. That is very relaxing and it is hard to snack while you do that. We just get into habits that are hard to break and that are not very healthy for us, and we need to substitute a good habit for the bad one.

i guess it came out as a habit. it is fine, just stack in you fridge fresh fruits. so that he has fruits as a snack, it is healthy. you dont have to nagged to stopped him, just a little creativity will do.. luckily my husband eats only once in the evening, only dinner, he drinks deer occasionally when i ask him to drink together. he is not a much eater i guess. but oh... be likes to sleep! see? to each his own! Good Luck...

Greetings acer5540 . The first thing that came to my mind was - - - - pray. And the Holy Bible indicates that when we pray, we are to keep on praying. It's not that God is deaf or slow, but we humans are and it is a rare case for God to override our will. Not that He can't, it's just that He won't. In praying ask God to also help you select some of the advice other respondents will put in your discussion.

my husband is just the oppisite he does not snack like ever.. im the snacker in the house even after dinner i find myself snacking.. usually when im on the computer or watching tv.. most people find this time to snack.. and i am as well a fairly big person im not FAT but not healthy weight either.. so what i did was removed the temptaion from the situation.. i do all the shopping in the house so i just dont buy snack foods i buy fruits and veggies if i feel like snacking i will just have some of those that way there im not gaining lots of weight from eating junk foods

yes, I can't keep peanut butter for any length of time or bread or butter. He is constantly eating. He doesn't have to worry about gaining weight. I do I can just watch him eat something and gain lbs. I just can't afford the way he would really like to eat. He eats something atleast every hour. If it was up to him I think he would have 6 big meals a day and still snack in between.

My husband sometimes does that if there is a basketball game on but only if he is a little hungry still. What sounds like is your husband needing to keep his hands busy? Yeah that has to be daunting that you made a nice meal and he is snacking on something not too long after. I hope you can find out what is the root of the problem. Is he depressed about something? I know when my hubby is extremely stressed or depressed about his job, he has a habit of snacking on anything he can get his hands on. That's why I am opting to get more healthy options.

Hi Acer5540, I have the same habit, actually, the whole family do. Me and my husband, his parents. After big dinner, we sit in the sofa, watch TV, talking,and my month in law will bring all kind of snakes, fruits,and we can't resisit to eat it. My husband don't like fruits or snakes after dinner.I am the one he worris about

The only thing to do is get healthy snacks in the house and get rid of the unhealthy snacks. Then you won't get upset that he is going to get fat. I have dinner between 6pm and 7pm but its not till 10:00pm that I will have a cup of tea and maybe a cookie or two. That also depends on the time I'm going to bed. I don't eat anything 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. So if I plan to go to bed by 1am then 10pm is my cut off time to eat or drink anything. People shouldn't eat and then lay down to go to sleep. Its very bad for you. I hope your husband is not doing that.

hi Acer,until and unless he does this without any workouts or excercise routines you dont have to think about it.if he doesnt strain his body and just keeps on eating and sleeping then you gottto talk to him--why he does that coz this might lead to obesity and other health concerns if the fat contents in his body keep on increasing he got to get rid of those and avoid taking junk food.great day.

I have a cunning plan... Don't but any snacks! Cut snacks out of your weekly shop, and your husband won't have anything to chew on. I've been on a 'low carb' diet with my partner for a while now; it's fabulous, and we've lost almost five stone between us (now I'm a skinny, skinny boy!)... Low carb means no snacks (crisps, chocolate, etc.), so to avoid temptation, we simply didn't buy any. It really is that simple!

Hi do not worry .I think this is a personal hobby . When he has nothing to do , naturally he thought to eat something . You can find something for him to do ,such going for a walk together after dinner or take part in activities and so on . And usually do not buy so many high-calorie snacks.
