Eat a snack before going to bed with some protein - like a hard boiled egg or some turkey.  Have a cracker or cookie with that, and some nuts, preferrably almonds or peanuts, if you are not allergic.\n\nSee if that makes a difference.\n\nIf it does, then check out www.hufa.org for a possible explanation of why it does.

Cut up some fresh veggies and keep them in a zip lock baggie in the fridge. Include celery, carrots, bell pepper strips, broccoli, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, jicama. You can even use some fat free dip if you don't overdo it.\n\nFruit can be good if you don't eat too much of it. Berries (especially blueberries) are very good for you. Grapes, apples, oranges, pears, peaches, etc. are good, but you have to watch the sugar content, especially if you are diabetic.\n\nRice cakes are low in calories. \n\nA smoothie made from yoghurt, orange juice, berries and a little honey can give you an energy boost. Put them all into a blender with some crushed ice and blend just until it's frothy. You can add some oats to make it more nutritious.

Vegetables...You can cut up celery and carrot sticks at night, keeping them fresh in the fridge...partially cook a variety of vegetables and then heat them up in a microwave...another trick I used to do was cut an acorn squash in half, pop it into my bag, heated it up at work for about 10 minutes - it tastes great, and you don't need any butter or salt...quick and easy.\n\nVegetables simply pull the weight off your body, it seems. :)\n\n(and fruits, of course...just no bananas)

eat more fruit during the day, and less soda/coffee.  this helps to keep you awake, and when those after 5 endorphins kick in, it's all the more energy to play with!  for lunch try a spinach / romaine lettuce salad with strawberries and red grapes with kraft's sun-dried tomato dressing--snacks of apples and yogurt...yum!

My favorite bedtime snack are the Quacker chocolate chip Quakes. They are good for you and satisfy a sweet tooth. Just don't eat the whole bag like my husband does. I wouldn't really recomend fruit because of the sugars, but veggies are great especially for fiber. Hope your diet goes well....

Allow me to suggest "real" oatmeal.  You can add raisins, cinnamon, a dash of artificial sweetner (or honey) and a bit of skim milk.

You can help by eating soy foods and Flax Seed ground onto your cereal. Tofu is your best food for soy in recipes instead of animal products like meats. Eat lots of fresh fruits and raw vegetables and take a food based vitamin and mineral like Source of Life vitamins along with the herbs, Black Cohosh & Chaste Berry. Health food stores have all kinds of brands to help you choose and Progesterone cream can also help . Also don't smoke or drink alcohol.
