Why You Always Crave Food (and How to Finally Feel in Control)
Think you’re addicted to sugar and carbs?
It’s not willpower — it’s biology and unmet needs.
In this episode, Max and Shane break down why so many women over 40 feel out of control around food — constantly thinking about what to eat next, feeling “hangry” when you miss a meal, and turning to snacks when stress hits. Spoiler: your cravings aren’t a character flaw. They’re signals. And when you know what they’re really saying, you can finally find food freedom.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
The real reason for nonstop cravings: how being “stuck in sugar-burning mode” (metabolic inflexibility) keeps you hungry, foggy, and snacky all day.
Simple fixes that work:
Eat 2–3 larger, satisfying meals instead of grazing
Prioritize protein + fiber to stay full
Drop the BLTs (bites, licks, tastes) that quietly add 400–600 calories
Walk more to burn through glycogen and switch on fat burning
Emotional eating decoded: food isn’t the problem — it’s the solution you’re using. You’ll ask, “What is the food doing for me?” (numbing, rewarding, escaping, soothing) and learn to meet that need another way.
Practical “in-the-moment” tools: box breathing, 4-7-8 breathing, short walks, journaling, reaching out to a friend — real strategies to calm stress without raiding the pantry.
Why dieting backfires: restriction ramps up cravings, stress, and that “I always fail” loop. The solution is a mindset shift and daily habits that make weight loss feel easier, not harder.
You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to move from “I can’t control myself around food” to “I can go hours without thinking about it” — without going keto, cutting out your favorites, or relying on endless willpower. This is sustainable menopause weight loss and food freedom, built on biology, not blame.
