"Have you noticed stronger cravings since the clocks changed?"
You’re not imagining it.
When our internal clock (circadian rhythm) gets thrown off, it affects hormones that regulate hunger and energy — especially ghrelin, leptin, and cortisol.
The result?
🍪 More sugar or carb cravings
💤 Mid-afternoon energy dips
🍷 Extra evening snacking or wine
It’s your body’s way of trying to rebalance energy while it adjusts to the new rhythm.
A few small tweaks can really help this week:
🥑 Eat a protein-rich breakfast within an hour of waking
☀️ Get 10–15 minutes of natural light in the morning
🥕 Keep healthy snacks (like nuts or Greek yogurt) on hand
💧 Hydrate — thirst can disguise itself as hunger
Your metabolism will reset, but this is the perfect week to be kind to yourself and keep meals steady and nourishing.
