Let’s talk breakfast, because how you start your day sets the tone for your energy, cravings, focus, and fat-burning potential. Here’s a common mistake we see (even in “healthy” eaters): ☕ Oat milk latte + banana + toast = 🚨 GLUCOSE SPIKE CITY! That combo is all carbs, even if it seems light or plant-based. It sends your glucose on a roller coaster 🎢, you spike, then crash, and the cravings begin by mid-morning. You’ll be reaching for more carbs, more caffeine, and wondering why you feel drained by 11 a.m. 🧬 What actually works? A blood sugar-friendly breakfast should include: ✅ Protein (eggs, Greek yogurt, protein smoothie, leftover chicken) ✅ Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds) ✅ Fiber (veggies, chia, flax, sauerkraut, greens) 🥚 Example: Eggs cooked in olive oil, sliced avocado, and a scoop of sauerkraut or greens on the side. This combo keeps your glucose stable → which keeps insulin low → which supports fat burning, mental clarity, and fewer cravings. 🧪 Your challenge today: If you're using a CGM: - Try a sweet breakfast one day (oat milk latte + banana toast), and a savoury one the next. - Watch your glucose trend. What do you see? If you’re not using a CGM: - Compare how you feel after each version. Energy? Focus? Cravings by 10 a.m.? - Track it in your journal—or just drop your observations below! 👇 Comment below with your go-to breakfast and what you’re noticing this week. Let’s learn from each other’s experiments!

Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for your thoughtful responses to our last post on cravings. Many of you shared that your cravings are strongest in the evening, and I want to dig into that a bit more today. Evening cravings are incredibly common—and guess what? They’re not about a lack of willpower. They’re often a physiological or emotional signal that your body is trying to restore balance. 🔎 Why Do Evening Cravings Happen? Here are a few key patterns we often see: 🩸 Blood Sugar Rebound: If your meals earlier in the day were low in protein or high in refined carbs, you may be experiencing a late-day glucose dip—which triggers hunger and cravings (especially for sugar or carbs). 💤 Melatonin & Serotonin Seeking :As your brain winds down, it may look for quick comfort and feel-good chemicals. Sugar and carbs boost serotonin temporarily—so your brain starts asking for a treat. ⚖️ Nutrient Deficiency: Low magnesium, chromium, or B vitamins can drive cravings—especially for chocolate, salt, or carbs. 🌪 Stress + Fatigue = Less Control: By the evening, your decision-making power is tired, and cortisol might still be running the show if your day was demanding. 🔄 Let’s Try a New Pattern: Before you reach for a snack, ask: “Did I eat enough protein, fat, and fiber during the day?” “Is my body asking for fuel or comfort?” “What can I give myself instead of sugar, that still feels nurturing?” Evening Craving Rescue Kit: ✅ A spoonful of almond or sunflower seed butter with sea salt ✅ Warm golden milk with cinnamon and collagen ✅ Magnesium glycinate + a calming herbal tea (passionflower, chamomile) ✅ 5 minutes of legs-up-the-wall or deep nasal breathing ✅ Journaling one thing you're proud of today (to shift from depletion to satisfaction) 🤔 Your Turn! Have you noticed a pattern with what you crave at night? Is it sweet, salty, crunchy, or creamy? What’s helped you curb it—or what do you want to try this week? Drop your insights, cravings, or experiments below 👇 Let’s support each other with real solutions and gentle awareness.

Hi Everyone, I hope you are having a great week. I’ve been talking a lot about cravings lately, and today I want to share a perspective shift that can change how you relate to them: First off, tell me, are you experiencing cravings? Y/N (answer below) My main messages to you is that cravings are not a weakness. They are a signal. Your body is speaking to you—and often it’s asking for balance, not discipline. Cravings can stem from many things: - Blood sugar dips (especially after high-carb or low-protein meals) - Hormonal fluctuations (like in the second half of your cycle) - Mineral deficiencies (magnesium, zinc, or even sodium) - Gut microbiome imbalances (some bacteria literally crave sugar!) - Or even emotional needs—comfort, grounding, or routine. So instead of trying to “willpower” your way through cravings or sabotaging yourself, pause and ask: 👉 What is my body asking for right now? Is it fuel? Minerals? Comfort? Sleep? Stability? Try this instead of sugar: - A spoonful of almond butter with cinnamon – balances blood sugar and nourishes - Magnesium-rich foods – think pumpkin seeds, leafy greens, or a magnesium supplement in the evening - 5–10 deep belly breaths – this calms the nervous system and reduces stress-induced cravings You might be surprised how quickly the urge passes when your body feels heard and supported. Reflection Time: What cravings tend to show up for you—and when? Do you notice patterns with your cycle, stress levels, sleep, or specific meals? Let’s open the conversation. Sharing your insights can help others recognize their own patterns too :) 💬👇
