If you've ever stood in your kitchen at 3 PM feeling like Jekyll and Hyde, wondering when you lost control of your relationship with food and energy - this one's especially for you.
I'm sharing Sarah's story about afternoon chaos and my own "keto kitchen floor" moment where everything fell apart. We're diving into the real biology behind that 3 PM crash - it's not willpower, it's hormones, stress, and blood sugar creating the perfect storm. Plus my Emergency Energy Protocol: the protein + fat combinations that actually work, the 20-minute timer strategy that changes everything, and why your cravings aren't a character flaw - they're information your body is desperately trying to give you.
Your ONE thing this week: Before reaching for that afternoon snack, set a 20-minute timer and ask yourself: "Am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired?" Then choose protein + healthy fat instead of quick carbs. This simple shift rewrites your next 3 hours.
"Your cravings aren't a character flaw. They're information. When you start feeding your body what it actually needs instead of what it's desperately craving, everything changes. What you eat in the next 15 minutes determines how you feel for the next 3 hours." ~Catharine
