Why you can't stop eating certain foods. It's not willpower. It's biology.
Processed foods are engineered to spike blood sugar, bypass fullness signals, and make you want more, even when you're full.
But I’ve created a way that you can predict how a food will affect you before you eat it.
I CALL IT THE CRAVING FACTOR FORMULA (CFF)
Use this simple equation on any packaged food:
Total Carbs − Fiber − Protein = Craving Factor
WHAT THE NUMBER MEANS:
Less than 10 = Buffer Food
Supports fullness, stabilizes blood sugar, reduces cravings.
10 or higher = Trigger Food
Spikes energy, increases hunger, drives overeating.
EXAMPLES:
TRIGGER FOOD:
Instant Oatmeal Packet (flavored):
27 carbs − 3 fiber − 4 protein = 20
Marketed as healthy but actually spikes cravings.
BUFFER FOOD:
Plain Greek Yogurt (1 cup):
9 carbs − 0 fiber − 17 protein = −8
Stabilizes hunger and keeps cravings quiet.
HOW TO USE IT TODAY:
Before you eat, check the label and run the formula.
If it's a Trigger Food (10+): Pair it with protein or fiber.
If it's a Buffer Food (
