YOUR RESULT

Busy Bee

It sounds like you may not be eating enough during the day.

When you don’t eat enough during the day, it’s only natural that you’ll overeat later on. You don’t lack self-control or will-power…. you’re just hungry!

As a Busy Bee, you’ll probably relate to one or more of these statements…

▷ I don’t have time to sit down to eat during the day.

▷ I’m way too too busy to pack lunches and snacks or spend all Sunday meal prepping.

▷ I’m just not hungry during the day.

▷ I forget to eat during the day but when I get home I’m starving.

It can take time to retrain your body to expect food at regular intervals throughout the day, and can feel counterintuitive to eat when you’re not hungry at first (especially since most of us are trying to learn to listen to our natural hunger cues!). But trust me on this one. Your body needs food throughout the day to maintain stable blood sugar, sustain energy levels, support metabolism, and more. As you get used to eating nourishing food throughout the day, you’ll find your night-time cravings will naturally go away! Here are some tips to get you started.

try these tips:

  1. Take 10 minutes each evening to plan your food for the next day. Make sure you know what you’re going to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Ensure you have a balanced mix of protein, complex carbohydrates, and fat at each meal and try to get most of your calories from whole foods instead of packaged or processed foods.

  2. Keep a running rotation of quick and easy meals to make during the week. I love to make a quick shrimp + veggie stir fry, taco bowls, or chickpea pasta with sauteed spinach sundried tomato.

  3. Don’t have time to meal plan, shop, or cook? Try a local healthy meal delivery service or an online service to help!

  4. Prep a few days’ worth of overnight oats and prepare salad ingredients for the week so you can always have a healthy breakfast and lunch ready in less than 10 minutes.

  5. Schedule out time in your calendar each day for lunch. Make sure you mark it as “busy” so meetings don’t get scheduled during that time.

  6. Prep smoothie ingredients the night before so you can be out the door in 5 min. with a healthy smoothie in hand!
