Breaking THE EMOTIONAL EATING LOOP →

After 23 years of guiding women through body transformations, I see two distinct eating patterns behind weight creep and how you feel about your body.

THE EMOTIONAL EATING LOOP: → Negative emotions trigger cravings → You eat for quick emotional relief → Blood sugar spikes create more cravings → Disrupted hunger/fullness hormones (ghrelin/leptin) → More negative emotions from physical inflammation → The cycle repeats and accelerates

Result: Short-term emotional relief loops into long-term disease.

THE PRIMAL EATING LOOP: → You fast until true hunger arises → Metabolic switching burns stored fat for energy → Autophagy clears cellular debris and stored emotions → Stable blood sugar creates stable emotions → You crave nourishment from whole foods → Positive emotions drive meaningful action

Result: Sustainable energy, stable mood, and natural weight regulation.

Here's what I've learned: Emotions live in fat cells. When you flip your fat through fasting, you release outdated emotional patterns instead of reaching for cookies or wine when life gets challenging.

The fastest way to shift from emotional eating to primal eating? Start with a 12-hour eating window. Finish dinner by 7 PM, break your fast at 7 AM. Give your body time for cellular housekeeping while you sleep.

Your body knows how to regulate itself when you stop interrupting the process with constant food.
