Depriving yourself can lead to overeating , late-night snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this mind that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.
Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and got eat , it is much important to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). Meaning , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the burger and should have just pleased it in the first place."
When it comes to dinner , overeating or eating too much of the bad kinds of food can lead to trouble on sleeping. On the other side, a meal that is not eating to much food than satiating can leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night snack even closer to sleep .
