The One Nighttime Hack You Should Try This Week For Instant Weight Loss

Our go-to tip is brushing your teeth after your last meal of the day-- yes, really. Think about it-- wouldn’t you be less likely to reach for snacks when you’ve already done your nighttime routine and have minty fresh teeth? Admit it, the answer is yes. 

In an interview with Shape, registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner highly recommends reaching for the toothbrush and toothpaste after your last meal of the day. Brushing your teeth after having a meal or snack is “a physical and a psychological signal to your body that you’re done eating,” Blatner says. 

Let’s face it, those yummy snacks won’t taste as good after brushing your teeth. Avoiding snacks at nighttime is key for successful weight loss because you’re more likely to overindulge and choose unhealthy snacks after dinner and into the night. 

According to Healthline, people who eat at night tend to eat more and consume extra calories, which can eventually lead to weight gain if you have too many calories every single night thanks to unnecessary snacking.
