EP 293 How to Stop Stress Snacking After Work
If you want to stop stress snacking after work, this episode is going to change how you think about your evening cravings. I'm breaking down exactly why women over 40 can't stop reaching for food the moment the workday ends, and why stress snacking after 40 is not a willpower problem. It is a hormone problem and an identity problem, and I am giving you the fix.
In this episode I am walking you through something I call the After Work Transition Time. It is 15 minutes. It costs you nothing. And it is the one shift that can break the stress snacking cycle for good.
I also get into something nobody is talking about. Your cravings are actually giving you data. Whether you reach for sweet, salty, crunchy, or chocolate, each one is telling you something specific about what is happening in your hormones right now.
Plus I share a real client story. She was sneaking Girl Scout cookies downstairs after her daughters went to bed. Scale stuck for five weeks. One change. It started moving again.
If you are on a GLP-1, there is a section in this episode specifically for you.
