Why no yogurt at night?

Last week a Take It Off customer said that he was eating a yogurt before going to bed at night as a way to try and keep him full but he wanted some insights. We commented back that instead of a yogurt we suggest eating either a Take It Off protein shake or bar. Several of you wrote in and inquired as to why shouldn't you eat yogurt before bedtime.

Let me start off by saying eating yogurt before bedtime isn't a bad thing if you are trying to lose weight. The challenge is that most yogurts have 20+ grams of sugar (unless you are choosing one with a sugar substitute). This will cause a spike in your blood sugar, which we try to avoid when losing weight. So, by eating protein as the before bedtime snack, not only do you avoid those sugars but you also will create a greater feeling of fullness. For many people this will result in a better nights sleep. Hope this helps and answers everyone's curiosity.
