Ever notice how your food choices get worse when you’re stressed?
That’s not random.
🧠 What’s happening:
Your prefrontal cortex (your decision-making center) helps you:
- plan
- stay consistent
- make better choices
But under stress…
👉 it starts to go “offline”
What that leads to:
- more impulsive decisions
- less follow-through
- choosing what’s easy, not what’s best
This is why:
You can eat well all day…Then completely fall off at night
🔁 The shift:
It’s not about more discipline.
It’s about:
👉 recognizing when your brain is under stress
👉 simplifying your decisions in those moments
