Good morning. I'll cut to the chase...
If you struggle with cravings and seem to keep things in check for most of the day but find yourself raiding the cabinets at night...
Here's a quick solution...
First, it's important to understand that most cravings are a result of a deficit...
Protein deficit,
calorie deficit, fiber deficit, etc.
We could even take it a step further and say emotional deficit, entertainment deficit (boredom), recovery deficit (over stressed), etc.
Let's just focus on the energy and protein side of things because that's the easiest to fix.
Whenever I chat with someone
who tells me they're "good all day" and then snack at night...
Their morning routine often looks like chaos.
They are in a rush and they shove a bagel in their mouth on the way out the door or perhaps a cereal bar as their first "meal" of the day.
So here's what you're going to do instead...
Eat a real breakfast (or if you use intermittent fasting, a real first meal).
I know, crazy talk. But just try it.
More specifically, eat 30-40g of protein.
Then, you're going to do the same thing at dinner. At least 30-40g of protein with dinner too.
Try that tomorrow and then report back and tell me if you still ended up raiding the pantry.
You'll be surprised. :)
Your friend,
Mike
