ADVICE

Plate Framework To Stop Cravings

  • Build every plate from protein, fat, fiber, and greens to stabilize hunger and blood sugar.
  • Choosing quality sources matters more than arguing over which specific protein or fat is superior.
INSIGHT

Hunger Is Hormonal And Food-Specific

  • Multiple hormones regulate hunger and different foods suppress different hormones.
  • Protein, fat, and fiber each target distinct hunger signals so combining them reduces constant cravings.
ADVICE

Greens Feed Your Gut Ecosystem

  • Eat leafy greens (raw or cooked) to feed beneficial gut bacteria via resistant starch and sulfur-based sugars.
  • Prioritize what digests well for you rather than ideology about raw versus cooked veg.
