If the temptation seems overpowering while you are in bed, get out of bed and go into the kitchen and fix yourself a snack, even if it is in the middle of the night, and even if you are not hungry, and despite your fears of gaining weight. The purpose behind this suggestion is that you get your mind on something else. You are the subject of your thoughts, so to speak.
Reduce the amount of spices and condiments in your food. Eat as lightly as possible at night.
That is funny, but since the scriptures are full of contradictions, it makes sense that a prophet of god would do the same.
