Another thing I find absolutely essential (although others may disagree) is not eating anything after dinner. That means not even a chicken wing! If you eat until you're satisfied at dinner you shouldn't experience actual hunger later on, it's probably just boredom and habit that makes you open the fridge.

This is sooo true- in fact that's ME ..  I've found it helpful to eat dinner an hour or so later than normal ..e.g 7pm instead of 6pm, or sleep early. Doing both may also be worth a try. |
