Are your cravings trying to tell you something? Most of us treat our relationship with food as a battle of willpower, but after 30 years in the “quicksand” of binge eating, Nan Saysana discovered a life-changing truth: the answer has nothing to do with diets or restriction.
In this episode, Lori Clarke and Nan peel back the layers of secret eating and shame to reveal that cravings are actually messages from our Emotions. When we move from being “furious” to “curious,” the cycle begins to break.
Inside the episode:
The Willpower Myth: Why it runs out by evening and what to use instead.
Hunger vs. Desire: Identifying the “missing steps” between the thought and the bite.
The “DIFF” Method: A simple framework (Duration, Intensity, Frequency) to understand your patterns.
