In this episode of the Wolffpack Fitness Podcast, I discuss some of the most effective methods to help you reduce, or even eliminate, your cravings for unhealthy foods. I begin with a discussion of the science behind why ultra-processed hyper-palatable foods like chips and pastries are so irresistible, and why we crave them so much.
Later, I transition to a discussion of the three macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins), and why the proper proportion of these foods is so critical to managing your cravings and satiety.
I also give you my top five tips that you can use right away to start reducing your cravings for ultra-processed foods. I finish the episode with an action item for you to start working on to get more satisfaction and satiety out of whole healthy foods, and to get you to start progressing toward a more healthy lifestyle.
