Ep. 7: Why You're Raiding the Pantry at Night (And Why It's Not a Willpower Problem)
Do you feel like you're "good" all day only to find yourself standing in the pantry at 9 PM looking for chips, crackers, cookies, cereal, or ice cream?
If so, this episode is for you.
In today's episode of Simplifying Diabetes, I'm breaking down the Crash → Crave → Spike Cycle and explaining why nighttime cravings are often a blood sugar issue—not a willpower issue.
We'll talk about:
• What the blood sugar rollercoaster looks like in real life
• Why skipping meals, under-eating, and restricting carbs can backfire
• How diet culture teaches us to ignore our body's signals
• My personal experience wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)
• Real client stories that reveal what's actually driving nighttime cravings
• Why your body may be asking for food—not sabotaging you
If you've ever thought, "I was so good all day, why can't I stop eating at night?" this episode will help you understand what's really happening and what you can do about it.
