I am always surprised when I am reminded of people who use amphetamine meds off-label for weight loss, because even though I don’t have an appetite while I’m taking them, there’s always a few hours before bed after they wear off when I can’t stop myself from eating everything in the pantry.

    I’m not on a stimulant beside caffeine. But I have noticed a similar issue. 3 things I do to help:

    1. Plan for it. I intentionally plan for my meals to be larger as the day progresses so dinner is the biggest.
    2. I give myself “free” things to eat with no guilt. If I want to eat a giant bowl of cooked broccoli, no worries.
    3. Don’t buy things you will dopamine crave. If you have junk food at arms reach, you will eat it. I try to stick up on protein bars and fresh fruit.
