Finally, modify your nightly habits. Cut back on the alcohol this week: it and rsquo;s fattening, has extra calories, and triggers hunger. Also, avoid binge eating at night. Your five-meal diet should be evenly scheduled to diminish your appetite. While your metabolism does not shut down when you sleep, it definitely slows down.
