Is Stress Causing Your Sugar Craving?

When cortisol (stress hormone) spikes in response to stress, your body goes into ‘fight or flight’ mode, increasing your hunger and cravings for quick and high energy foods—often sugar and fat. This is because cortisol raises your blood sugar to fuel immediate action, and your body craves quick energy sources to match that requirement.

To break the cycle, try balancing your meals with nutrient-dense foods like:

⭕️ Protein (chicken, eggs, tofu) to support muscle repair and stabilize blood sugar 🍗🍳

⭕️ Fibre (vegetables, whole grains, legumes) to keep you fuller longer and reduce blood sugar spikes 🥦🌾

⭕️ Healthy Fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil) to support hormone balance and reduce cravings 🥑🌰

By giving your body the right nutrients, you can prevent those stress-triggered sugar cravings and help keep cortisol levels in check!

So school's out for Summer & I thought what better way to celebrate than give all my fellow superhero parents a quick tool for when you need a quick breather ;) from any form of madness.

*** Introducing Box Breathing ***

Box breathing aka square breathing is all about resetting your breath.

You can use this breathing technique to re-centre yourself and improve concentration.

This technique has been reportedly used by those in the armed forces when in fight or flight mode & could help you.

Feel free to share with friend who you think could benefit from some box breathing and save for future use.

As you may know, I’m big on whole food eating...

So when clients & friends ask me about protein - I'm always keen to ditch the bars/ packs & powders for the real stuff where possible.

I'm not saying never to use them (actually good quality products in these ranges can be an amazing aid to hit daily protein targets SOMETIMES) but the key is not to become reliant on them!

Soooo here's a snapshot of how to hit 100g of protein without a bar/ pack or powder in sight ;)

Keep swiping right to see plant & animal sources.

Do you believe in the healing powers of food?

MediFood® by Fai is based on the belief that food can act as a preventative as well as a corrective form of medicine for some.

I've held this philosophy since some of my earliest memories, whether it was making face-masks from things I found in the kitchen during my teens, supporting my dad through his illness or looking for energy in those early days with my bambinos.

Life can throw curveballs when you least expect but eating nutritious food not only helps feed your body - it nourishes your soul when you need it most!
