One thing I wish more women over 40 would try when they’re struggling with hunger and cravings?
Stop looking for more foods to CUT OUT.
Start looking at what you can ADD.
More protein.
More fiber.
More foods that actually help your meals satisfy you.
Because I see this cycle all the time…
You’re trying to “be good,” so you eat a little less at breakfast. Keep lunch light. Try not to snack.
Then 3 PM hits and you’re looking for something sweet.
Or you walk in the door starving and start picking at everything while making dinner.
And suddenly you’re wondering why you have no willpower.
I don’t think willpower is the problem.
Sometimes we need to stop asking, “How can I eat less?” and start asking, “What can I add to make this meal work better for me?”
That’s why I love starting with protein + fiber.
They can help make meals more satisfying, protein helps support the muscle we’re working hard to maintain, and fiber brings a whole list of health benefits along with it.
And it doesn’t need to be complicated. The foods in this carousel are some of the foods you’ll find in my grocery cart week after week.
Save this for your next grocery trip.
And if you want me to help you put it into practice, my 28-Day Protein + Fiber Reset starts Tuesday!
We’re focusing on simple, doable strategies you can use in real life—not another diet you have to be perfect at.
Comment RESET and I’ll send you the details. 🤎
