Ever wonder why late-night cravings hit or why you want seconds after a full meal? Two hormones are running the show: ๐—ด๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป (hunger) and ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป (fullness).

๐—š๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป is your hunger alarm. It rises before meals and during dieting, making you feel hungrier even when youโ€™ve eaten.
๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป is your stop signal. It tells your brain youโ€™re satisfiedโ€”but stress, poor sleep, and weight changes can make your brain stop hearing it.

When ghrelin is high, you want to eat.
When leptin works well, you feel full.
Modern life often throws this balance off.

1๏ธโƒฃ Eat protein + fiber to stay full longer.
2๏ธโƒฃ Sleep 7โ€“9 hours to reset hunger signals.
3๏ธโƒฃ Move your body to improve leptin response.
4๏ธโƒฃ Lower stress with walking, breathing, or stillness.
5๏ธโƒฃ Eat mindfully so your brain hears fullness cues.

Small habits help these hormones work with you instead of against you.

The most dangerous way to stop GLP-1 meds?
Cold turkey.

Thatโ€™s when the brain turns appetite back on full volume and weight regain accelerates.
Itโ€™s a predictable biological rebound โ€” not a discipline issue.

This Monday, Iโ€™m sharing the 3 real-world exit plans that reduce regain instead of triggering it.
