Lose It Well by Profound Nutrition And Wellness

05/12/2025

The reason you’re constantly hungry is not because your hunger hormones are broken.
​
​
​
It’s because your body is simply following the pattern you’ve trained it to follow.
​
​
​
If you always wake up hungry…
If you get hungry late at night…
If hunger hits you immediately after 7pm…
​
​
It’s not a hormonal disorder.
​
​
It’s a memory issue.
​
​
Let me show you what I mean…
​
​
​
Ghrelin is NOT a hunger hormone.
​
​
It’s a memorization hormone.
​
​
​
Its job is simple:
​
It reminds your body to expect food at the times you usually eat.
​
​
​
So if you normally eat breakfast at 8am, your ghrelin level will rise at exactly 8am, every day, even if you’re not truly hungry.
​
​
​
​
​
If you’re used to eating by 9 or 10pm and suddenly “repent” and start eating by 5pm…
​
​
Guess what happens?
​
​
By 9pm, ghrelin will spike and you’ll feel “hungry” again, even though you already ate earlier.
​
​
​
​
If you snack every two hours, ghrelin will tap you every two hours like an alarm clock saying:
​
“Hello… it’s time to chew something.”
​
​
See the pattern?
​
​
​
​
​
Your hunger is not misbehaving.
​
It’s obeying you.
​
You trained it…
And you can retrain it.
​
​
​
​
​
I have seen people who used to wake up ravenous…the “I must eat breakfast or I’ll faint” people, completely lose that morning hunger within a few days of retraining their ghrelin.
​
​
​
​
Let me give you a practical example…
​
I once coached a lady who got home late because of Lagos traffic. She was overweight and her biggest problem was late-night eating.
​
​
​
I told her,
“Start having dinner before leaving the office around 5pm.”
​
​
She was like,
“Coach, I’ll die. By the time I get home, hunger will finish me!”
​
​
I told her,
“Just do it for three days. Day 4, that night hunger will disappear.”
​
​
​
She didn’t believe me, but she tried it.
​
​
And by Day 4… hunger at night was gone. Completely.
​
​
She became a 5pm dinner person just like that.
​
​
Hunger doesn’t control you.
You control it.
​
​
​
​
​
Discipline your meal timing, and your hunger will fall in line with you.
​
​
Hunger is the first element of self-discipline.
​
​
If you can control not just what you eat but when, you unlock a new level of mastery over your body.
​
Have a beautiful, powerful day ahead.

Earlier today, my team and I were at Banana Island, Ikoyi, spending the morning with the incredible members of the Road Warriors Club and honestly, it reminded me why I love this work so much.

There is something that happens to you every morning and if you understand how this works, you can literally control your body’s fat-burning process.

Let me explain it in the simplest terms because once this clicks, it will change how you see your body forever.

In the early morning hours, around 5am–8am, there’s a hormone called cortisol that gradually rises.

And whenever cortisol rises, it’s your body saying: “Wake up, move, hunt, run, think fast.”

Now pay attention, because this is where it gets interesting.

The way cortisol works is that it actually creates glucose from proteins and fats and releases this glucose into your blood.

At the same time, it reduces insulin sensitivity so your muscles don’t pull that glucose in and insulin doesn’t quickly convert it to fat.

You know why?

Because that glucose is meant to help your brain and muscles wake up, move, think clearly, and react.

So in the morning, between 5am and 8am, glucose in your bloodstream is naturally high.

This happens to everybody. Healthy or unhealthy. It’s not a bad thing.

But here’s the mistake most people make without realizing it…

Cortisol is highest in the morning.

Cortisol already raises blood sugar.

Cortisol already reduces insulin sensitivity on purpose.

Now imagine adding bread… pap… oats… cereals… fruit smoothies… yam… tea and biscuits… even “healthy” overnight oats… right on top of that cortisol spike.

You create what I call the blood sugar double spike, the combination of cortisol spike plus the carb spike.

And this comes with real consequences.

This combination causes a higher rise in blood sugar than the exact same meal eaten later in the day.

Listen, there’s nothing wrong with oats.

There’s nothing wrong with a smoothie.

But the way your body reacts to them at 7am is completely different from how it reacts at 11am or 2pm.

Your hormones literally don’t see those foods the same way.

Because remember, morning = reduced insulin sensitivity.

So your pancreas has to release even more insulin to handle the sugar.

And once insulin rises too much:

– fat burning shuts down
– fat storage increases
– inflammation rises
– hormonal imbalance worsens

This is one of the major reasons why many women feel like their weight “sticks” after childbirth or during menopause.

The hormonal environment is already sensitive and the double spike makes it worse.

I once had a lady who told me she was diabetic and had switched to “healthy” foods.

She said she now takes oats and eggs in the morning instead of Milo, milk, and bread, but her sugar levels were still high.

I explained the dawn phenomenon to her and how it’s even stronger in people with insulin resistance, PCOS, fatty liver, diabetes, and other blood sugar issues.

We got her to start eating right for her hormones. Within two weeks, her fluctuating sugar levels normalized.

That’s how powerful hormones are in your weight loss journey.

But most people still think it’s just about calories.

They treat their body like a calculator instead of the complex biological system it is.

The moment you take a high-carb breakfast upon waking, you shut down fat burning and switch your body into glucose mode immediately.

What you should do instead is simple:

Keep the first 120 minutes of your day low-insulin.

If you’re a breakfast person, eat between 10–11am.

If you’re not a breakfast person, even better.

Keep showing up.
Keep trusting the process.
Keep healing.

Maturing is realizing you can satisfy your sweet tooth with fruits.

Fruits don’t just satisfy your sweet tooth. They also come loaded with fiber and vitamins that help balance blood sugar and keep you fuller for longer.

Unlike processed snacks that spike and crash your energy , fruits fuel your body in a steady, nourishing way.🍉

So the next time you’re craving something sweet, especially if you’re on a weight loss journey, swap that processed food for nature’s candy and satisfy your cravings while providing your body with nourishment at the same time.😊
