Two kids, dinner prep, and the after-school chaos are my real craving window. I’m 14 weeks in and the old 9 p.m.
pantry raid is mostly gone, but around 4 p.m. I still want something crunchy while I’m unpacking backpacks and answering four questions at once.
My snack bin has pre-portioned bags: saltines, turkey sticks, grapes, and a couple dark chocolate squares. I try to sit down with one instead of grazing standing at the counter. It doesn’t feel dramatic.
The craving shows up, I notice it, I pick something, then I move on. Some days I eat the whole bag of pretzels and that’s just Tuesday.
Anyone else find their cravings have a time stamp instead of a volume knob?
