Understanding Cravings
Cravings often come from a variety of places—hormonal changes, stress, or simply not fueling our bodies adequately. For years, I struggled with mid-morning cravings that led to unhealthy snacking and energy slumps. It was time for a change, and I decided to tackle my breakfast habits head-on.
The Plan
Here’s how I tackled the challenge of cravings with better breakfasts:
Most People Miss This Tiny Morning Coffee Trick 🔥
1. Ditch the Sugary Cereals: I bid farewell to those sugary cereals that promised a quick breakfast but left me hungry within an hour.
2. Embrace Protein & Healthy Fats: I focused on incorporating protein and healthy fats to keep me satiated. Eggs, Greek yogurt, and avocados became my new best friends.
3. Experiment with Whole Grains: Whole grains like oats and quinoa became staples, providing sustained energy without the sugar crash.
4. Add Fiber-Rich Foods: Fruits, vegetables, and nuts helped me feel fuller longer and added essential vitamins and minerals to my diet.
5. Plan Ahead: Prepping my breakfasts in advance became a game-changer. I dedicated Sundays to meal prep, making my mornings stress-free.
