Episode notes
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.
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.

- 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.
