Hi friend👋
Sharing an ugly truth about myself today.
Everyone that watches me on YouTube remarks that I come across as a very nice person...but wait.
I’m a nice person… until I’m hungry.
And I know we all get a little hangry now and then, but trust me I'm particularly bad!
And here’s the thing — I know I’m not alone. A lot of people try to lose weight or improve their health by eating less, and suddenly they’re tired, irritable, and just plain miserable. Not because they lack willpower, but because they’re hungry.
Now, yes, some level of restraint is often part of the process when your trying to make healthier choices. But over the past few years, I’ve dived deep into the science of satiety — what makes us feel full and satisfied — and I can tell you this:
👉 You can eat less and still feel full. You can reach your goals without feeling hangry 24/7.
So, in my latest YouTube video, I share 7 smart, science-backed tricks that help you eat less without turning into a cranky shell of yourself. You’ll learn:
- What the Satiety Index is (and why croissants fail but Irish spuds come out on top!)
- Why protein is the hero of appetite control
- How to use simple tools like smaller plates and volume eating to your advantage
Also, many of you have been asking me for advice on choosing a protein powder and because I'm a super helpful person I wrote a full article on the topic for you! I like the brand Naked because they are not very expensive and use very few ingredients. I've checked and they also seem to ship to most countries as I know I have readers from every corner of the globe 🌏 Any questions on the topic- just let me know!
💌 As always, I love hearing from you. Let me know what topics or recipes you'd love me to cover next—or what you're struggling with most when it comes to eating well and feeling your best.
I always read and reply 💚
