Hi friends,
For many people, sugar cravings show up at the same times every day.
Mid afternoon. Late evening. After stressful conversations.
They often arrive when the stomach isn’t asking for food.
This is because sugar cravings are rarely about hunger. More often, they’re a response to falling blood sugar, rising stress hormones, poor sleep, or nervous system fatigue. The body is looking for the fastest way to restore stability, not necessarily calories.
This week we’re looking at why sugar cravings appear when you’re not hungry, what they’re actually signaling in the body, and how to respond in a way that reduces reactivity instead of fighting it.
