not good to eat around the time you sleep. Generally your metabolism drops during sleep (burn less calories), so i belive the theroy is that your body will just turn more of carbs and proteins from your midnight snack into fat and store it.
Sleep is also believed to be when muscles reconstruct the best. So people trying to gain muscle weight will down a ton of carbs and protein right before bed, along with a ton of water.
as far as appetite suppressants, im not sure. Try it the natural way. The glycemic index (GI) is an rating system we have applied to carbs that keep us full or make us hungry real fast. This explains why after having a huge as dinner and dessert you are starving like an hour and half later. Its because sugar in the dessert spikes your blood sugar. In turn your body dumps a ton of insulin in to counter it, and as you blood sugar now plummets cause of all the insulin your body gets worried it will go too low and tells you to eat more food (hunger).
Thats the basics. More than you wanted to know, im not sure?!
