Craving sweets 24/7? Constantly reaching for snacks? You’re not undisciplined. You’re likely underfed. Especially on protein.
When you skip protein at breakfast or snack on carbs all day, your blood sugar crashes, and your body sends you an SOS in the form of cravings.
Here’s what protein does that helps stop the craving spiral:
🔹 Balances blood sugar so you don’t crash and binge
🔹 Helps you feel full + stable longer
🔹 Provides amino acids that support neurotransmitters (aka mood, focus, motivation)
🔹 Reduces the “stress” signal that triggers emotional eating
Aiming for 25–30g of protein at each meal can be a game changer, especially for women.
