Cravings Are a Signal
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 :) 💬👇
