Raise your hand if you've ever wondered this too?

First, pause—and before you eat anything—drink 16 ounces of water. Then ask yourself if what you’re feeling is real hunger or if it’s being caused by one of these conditions:

Lack of sleep. When we sleep less than the recommended 7–8 hours per night, it affects the “hunger hormones” ghrelin and leptin. In addition, we often crave more carbohydrates because we look to them for energy.

Stress and emotions. If hunger feels quick and impulsive, and directs you toward sillier foods, you could be feeling stress or emotional hunger that you should never try to satisfy by eating. Find another outlet for these emotions, like exercise.

Sensory reaction. Sometimes, we can smell, see, or hear about something and immediately want to
eat it. That’s the time you want to evaluate your surroundings and get whatever is triggering your craving OOSOOM (out of sight/sense, out of mind) as quickly as possible.

Boredom or habit. Try to think of other ways to occupy yourself that are more productive and purposeful. And keep two hands on the wheel (aka your water bottle) to make things safer and easier for you.

If none of this helps and you still want to eat, here are my suggestions: If it’s morning, you can have lunch a little early, but to avoid this problem in the future, you might try eating a slightly larger breakfast. If it’s afternoon, take advantage of your snack.

Most importantly, track it to figure out why you’re hungry.

Something that I LOVE to implement into my workouts is resistance training! It really can help us look and feel our BEST! Simply put, it’s moving your muscles under a challenging load, whether with resistance bands or weights. I love resistance training because it helps prevent muscle loss, burn calories (sign me up!), and add years to your life. Not to mention–resistance training may also lift your spirits by releasing endorphins (the happy hormone).

The best part? You can find plenty of amazing workouts with resistance training on our HLC platform to do at home. Here’s a resistance training workout you can try!

Dumbbell Biceps Curl: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart holding a pair of dumbbells at arm's length by your sides, palms facing forward. Keeping your back flat, core engaged, and elbows tucked, curl the dumbbells as close to your shoulders as you can without moving your upper arms. Pause, and then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.

Resistance Band Biceps Curl: Perform the same movement described above, but instead of dumbbells, grip one end of a resistance band in each hand while standing on its center with both feet. Spread your feet just wide enough to eliminate any slack in the band in the starting position.

"I hardly eat anything, and I still can’t lose weight."
Shout-out

Everyday I work with women in the who are up against some type of limiting belief. One of the top 3 I see most often include "I hardly eat anything, and I still can’t lose weight."

Feeling this way can be incredibly frustrating and confusing. Sometimes, it even stops people from trying to get healthier altogether.

⚡If you're struggling with this DM me for an experiment to help you discover important clues about what you REALLY need (and don’t need) to reach their goals. ⚡

Listen, it's incredibly common for us to underestimate how much we eat. We're good at lots things but how caloric foods are isn't one of them.

This is why I love empowering my clients with bumper rails like portion control, macro counting, or intuitive eating methods to help make choices to achieve their personal goals.

Hiiii guys. Just me with more chocolateness.
Three magic words that make this girl happy: Birthdays, chocolate cake, and protein.

(I have my cake and eat it too)

I love food, but I workout way too hard to not show it off and 80% of fitness happens IN THE KITCHEN.

I’m serious… abs are MORE what we eat, and less how we work out!!!! Isn’t that crazy??

🍕🍔🍟
I’m no buzzkill… I love me some dark chocolate cake and a glass of red wine, especially for a special occasion!! But I’m also gonna find a way to have the BEST of both worlds and I’ve FOUND IT.

This recipe is PACKED with protein & deliciousness, so it kicks those cravings out the door AND keeps us full and satisfied longer.

I think the fact that the kids LOVE it goes without saying… but still. (I haven’t told them it’s healthy.) Shhhhhh.

I’ll totally SHARE my secret recipe {so LIKE or LOVE this post and I'll send it your way!} ✅ ❤️

What is ONE way you love to measure your progress other than your size!? 👇🏼

Did you know that ONE HOUR of time is just 4% of your day?!

When I first saw that stat, I thought surely the math is wrong… but nope! Made me stop and think, what could we change in our lives if we just took back control of ONE HOUR (4%) of our day and invested into positive change in any area of our lives, be it fitness, our faith, a side business, our marriage… Overtime, that INVESTMENT would pay off in BIG WAYS!

For me, I am choosing to invest my 4% in my overall wellness journey! 30- 45 minutes of at home fitness (thanks to a new streaming service I just invested in!) and the remaining time plugging into an audible book for some consistent personal development time each day!

What area of your life do you feel you would benefit from intentionally investing 4% of your day into?! Would love to hear your answers!
