Do you eat late into the night? According to HIF nutrition expert Susie Burrell, "Of all the dietary issues that present in practice, I find it of interest that ‘night eating’, one of the most significant diet derailers, is also one of the least talked about.  I’m not talking about getting out of bed at 2am and searching the cupboard for sweet foods, I'm talking about the nightly habit of sitting down after a meal and completely overindulging in high calorie snacks to end the day. Not only does this nasty habit make it almost impossible to lose weight, but what begins as a small treat to finish off the day’s eating often ends up as an entire packet of biscuits, or block of chocolate on too regular an occasion." In this article, Susie offers her advice on how to identify a night eating problem and explains how we can take control of it.
