8) No eating after dinner       (8 of 10)

Calories give us energy and you don’t need energy to sleep. Plus, eating after dinner will cause you to gain excess weight. You become sedentary after dinner relaxing on the couch, watching TV and eventually sleeping. Your body doesn’t work these extra calories off like it does throughout the day when you’re active. If you must eat something, choose something healthy like a fiber-rich apple or something that is easily light on the calories and easy for your body to break down and digest. The truth really is that your cravings to eat after dinner generally are caused by an unbalanced diet during the day. If you eat healthy meals throughout the day, the late-night urges to eat after dinner will stop.
