The TIMING TRICKS that MOST WOMEN MISS

CRAVINGS aren’t random.

They’re not just a RESPONSE to what you're eating, but the TIMING of what you’re eating and that will affect everything including your energy, mental and physical health and ability to get the most out of your strength and cardio workouts.

Before we dive in, let’s set the scene… 

There’s always more than one way to get a job done.

• There’s the long way

• The short way

• And the way that actually works

You’ve likely tried a few already…

• Read the articles

• Followed advice

• Listened to “experts”

• Hoped this time it would click

But if the signs aren’t good…

• You’re not in the shape you want

• You don’t feel how you want

• The cravings keep showing up

• Your energy isn’t where it should be

Then something needs to change.

NOT more effort.

A BETTER approach.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF:

Am I actually getting results from what I’m doing? Or am I just repeating what feels familiar?

Am I fuelling my body right? Or constantly reacting to CRAVINGS?

Am I in control of my eating.? Or is my eating controlling me?

Am I open to doing this differently…if it means finally getting results?

From now on we’re not guessing.

We’re focusing on one of the most overlooked drivers of CRAVINGS…

THE POWER OF TIMING

If you feel like you’re doing “everything right” but still battling CRAVINGS this is where most women go wrong.

It might be an OMG moment because it's so simple and easy to do. 

You are already putting food in your mouth so now it's just about 'fine tuning' the TIMING...

It’s NOT just what you eat - it’s what TIME you eat it.

Your body runs on TIMING rhythms...And when your TIMING is OFF, your hunger hormones, blood sugar, low energy, stubborn fat, sleep issues, and inflammatory processes can be very frustrating and haunt you! and that’s when CRAVINGS take over.

Here’s what’s really happening:

1. Not enough of the right food at the right TIME or skipping meals → blood sugar drops → cravings spike → temptations will test you

2. You eat carbs alone (with no protein or fibre) → quick sugar spike → energy crash → more cravings

3. Leave long whole food gaps → your body goes into “panic mode” → cravings → you overeat to try to compensate (this often means eating too much to burn as energy which results in its conversion to FAT!!)

This isn’t lack of willpower

It's biology

It's your biological survival mechanism that's trying to keep you alive and functioning 'kicking in' and asking you to support it with some SMART/GOOD NUTRITION...NOT CRAPPY CARBS & SUGAR!!!!!

Time to FOCUS: TIMING THAT CALMS CRAVINGS and eating CRAPPY CARBS

1. Don’t delay your first meal too long

Start your day with PROTEIN (enough for your height, weight and age) within 1-2 hours of waking...a game changer. → sets your blood sugar and appetite for the day

STOP...Now before you say but 'I'm not a breakfast person', 'I'm not hungry'... that's because you skipped breakfast the days before, then when you did eat you ate carbs, and then you ate more carbs mid-afternoon, which then lead to your biggest meal at night because you were hungry (from nutrition deprivation through the day) , which then affected your sleep and woke you up tired and not ready to eat...and then you repeat it again and again and again!!! OMG! maybe it's TIME to try a TIMING TRICK...that might just work a bit if not a lot better. 

What have you got to lose by improving your TIMING?...a few kgs might be a good start, with the bonus of energy and a better sleep. 

2. Eat a balance of whole foods every 3-4 hours→ prevents energy dips that drive → CRAVINGS

3. Never eat carbs on their own (naked)→ always pair with protein + healthy fats + fibre (e.g. eggs or Greek yoghurt + good fat + whole meal grain/toast or berries/fruit) → slows the carb/sugar absorption

4. Protein earlier = fewer CRAVINGS later→ front-load your day with real nourishment (feed your busy time NOT your wind down time)

5. Don’t “save up” food for later...too much too late of SMART or CRAPPY food is too much too late and has got a good chance of turning to FAT and WILL AFFECT YOUR QUALITY of SLEEP!!!→ this always backfires at night

REAL TIMING FACTS 

Most night-time CRAVINGS are NOT a discipline problem.

They’re the result of:

• poor TIMING and the low-quality food choices

• under-eating earlier or eating too many carbs and sugar-based foods early

• low protein and lack of essential whole foods to support your brain and body

• blood sugar crashes that result in CRAVINGS 

Fix the DAY… and the NIGHT takes care of itself...less or no CRAVINGS!

Reminder: YOUR POWERFUL TIMING ACTIONS:

# Eat within 1-2 hours of waking

# Include protein in EVERY meal

# Space meals 3-4 hours apart

# Stop eating “naked carbs” {means eating them with no protein or fibre)

# Notice when cravings hit… and ask WHY...WHAT could you have done better earlier in the day? Correct tomorrow.

EVERYDAY CRAVING CONTROL ACTIONS:

• Remove white and liquid sugar completely

• Replace one or more refined carb per day with whole food version and don't buy them (they cost you your fat control and health)

• 'Self-respect starts on your plate'

• Build a Balanced Plate: Protein + Plants + Good Fats + SMART Carbs

• 
  

Key message: TIMING MATTERS a LOT!

You don’t need more restriction, just better TIMING and food choices and you’ll start to feel back in control.

SELF RESPECT always starts in your shopping trolley, is in your fridge and pantry, is what you put on your plate and then the TIMING of what you put in your mouth!

Future proof YOUR life from today...your brain and body are not an accident...you are the one choosing the TIMING of putting the food in your mouth

GIVE IT A GO...it might just change your life!!

Every food choice, meal, sip, rep, flex, heartbeat, huff and puff, and drip of sweat counts.

Use the POWER OF TIMING to...

• Control Craving and Carbs.

• Feel Stronger.

• Move Better.

• Age Powerfully.

You've GOT THIS.
