Eating at night is really bad for you. It's the number one cause of dementia later in life. It also ruins your night sleep because you're digestive system is being put to work.

homemade yogurt
buy culture at the health food store
boil skim milk
Immediately let cool to 80 degree
add culture by putting a cup of cooked milk into blender with culture
pour back into bowl of cooked milk
next day you have yogurt
Yogurt is thin because you used skim milk
add fibre like Metamucil to thicken
add berries
add cinnamon, lemon etc for taste
put in the fridge
very, very healthy and filling comfort food

The thing about weight loss is that there's a lot of subjective factors; some people find it easy, some don't. Some can survive on the same thing day after day, some can't. Some like to exercise, some don't.
For me, I've lost weight and kept it off by following a few rules:
1) Don't drink calories
2) Drink more water. I use "Mio" to add flavour to it, because it helps me drink more water. Also diet root beer in the SodaStream works for me, too.
3) Don't starve yourself, you'll go overboard later (for me, at least). Have healthy snacks available. On the go? Grocery stores usually have a carrot/celery container, just get some protein to go with it. I've gotten turkey kolbasa, for example, and it's high in nitrates/salt but low in fat. Salt isn't an issue for me, but YMMV
4) No eating after dinner
5) Microwave popcorn and water is pretty healthy (get the low fat/salt ones) for a snack
6) Dinner should fit on a small plate if possible. Whether it does, or doesn't; no seconds
7) It really does take time for your brain to feel full, so slow down when you're eating. If you eat and you're still hungry, wait for at least 15 minutes and reassess
8) Exercise. You don't need to run marathons, just move. Walking, running, elliptical, bike, row, whatever. Do something.
9) To get started, use a calorie tracking app. I used LoseIt! but they're all basically the same IMHO. It keeps you accountable and even more importantly, it tells you how many calories are actually in the food in front of you. I was surprised when I started as I estimated that my dinner had maybe 500 calories and it was often closer to 700! It makes you realize what portions should look like. Once you get the hang of it, you can ditch the app or keep it if you like seeing a daily calorie deficit.
This worked for me. You're not me, so it might not work for you. There's no one single tip or trick or hack; it's consistent effort every day for weeks and months. There's no shortcut, it takes a long time. You didn't gain weight in 3 days, you can't lose it in a week.

That's if you survive the side effects, they're not fun so I had to stop using it.

Your friend in the industry?I have a friend who competes in bodybuilding when she was on prep week I was over at her place and tried these as she swears by them - something about them I couldn’t stomach well even when it was drenched in sauce the texture and taste just didn’t appeal to me
There is a complete shortage of FBBs in this city & I find them very, very sexy...
100%. The calories you're consuming at night are more likely to be stored as fat because your metabolism slows. In the past, whenever I'd snack after 10pm, it would always lead to weight gain. Cut it out (even without exercising) and you'll see a noticeable difference.
What worked for me was cardio in morning (just some water beforehand). Weight train in afternoon. Eat around 4-4:30pm. A large meal with the goal of 150g protein. Another healthy snack of cottage cheese with blue berries or greek yogurt with berries. And then done. Lost 30lbs in 2.5 months but that was coupled with a hardcore 5 days a week push / pull / legs / REST Upper / Lower/ REST workout schedule. I've gained about 10lbs of it back but it's now lean muscle mass. Best shape of my life and i'm no young blood!
air popped popcorn
You can use micro instead of air fryer
put corn in paper bag then microwave for a few minutes
it gets really interesting with low cal seasoning
nutritional yeast
cinnamon
smoked paprika
everything bagel seasoning
cocao
coconut and vanilla
lots of stuff
as Popcorn is air popped it is bigger
fill a bowl for 100 calories
now you have your fiber in popcorn next you need protein to feel full
Sprinkle with protein powder as protein fills you up
sprinkle some PB2, which is dried peanut butter with oils squeezed out and oils are calorie-dense
still tastes lke peanut butter mx with cocao

This is the ultimate low calorie heathy food for snacking at night
first make your own almond milk as store-bought is all water
soak almond overnight to reduce bitterness but it's optional
put in a blender with water
use a sieve to get most almond bits out now you have almond milk which is the low-calorie way to make yogurt
boil then cool to 100%
add yogurt culture from the health food store by putting a cup of almond milk in the blender with the yogurt powder then remix with yougurt milk
put in oven at 100% for 10 hours
You can leave at room temperature but it will take another 4 hours
put some yogurt in blender with psyllium husk and protein powder
the fibre and the protein will satiate your hunger
i add cocoa in blender which is unsweetened raw coco and extremely healthy
put fruit in just before eating as yogurt makes them spoil quickly
make enough for 5 days max, as it will go bad
150 calories for one large cup

- Low calorie → each serving can stay under 150 calories depending on protein scoop size.
- High satiety → fiber + protein + probiotics compound fullness.
- Nutrient dense → antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, gut support.
- Sleep‑friendly → light digestion, no heavy fats or sugars to disrupt rest.
