Interesting … I tried to have a small bowl of glutenfree cereal with milk for breakfast, or some greek yoghurt with a banana, tahini and a teaspoon of honey - instead of my usual bulletproof coffee. I have breakfast around 8 am. What I‘m noticing is: around 11 am I‘m very hungry and it seems to give me cravings for sweet things. Especially on cereal days. Green yoghurt last much longer and doesn’t give me the sweet tooth as much. If I have a bulletproof coffee (with a scoop of collagen protein), I don’t have any cravings at all and get hungry around 1 or 2 pm, and more for substantial food, like chicken and veggies. What does this want to teach me in terms of me being a Gaia?

Think skipping a meal will help with weight loss? It can actually make things harder—especially after 40. Here are 3 things that can happen when you skip meals: 1️⃣ Your metabolism can slow down as your body tries to conserve energy. 2️⃣ Your body may become more likely to store energy when food finally arrives. 3️⃣ You can get overly hungry later, making it much harder to make the choices you normally would. I don't know about you, but when I go too long without eating, I can't eat fast enough and I over eat. What do you notice most when you go too long without eating—low energy, cravings, or feeling extra hungry later?

This is a question I ask my clients and some of the answers I get are… I yell at my kids! or I drink alcohol. I eat, why do you think I hired you? All kidding aside...
