How to stop cravings

How to stop cravings

October 28, 20251 min read

So many busy professionals tell me they struggle with cravings.

Well, I’ve got GREAT science-backed news for you:

Working out can cut junk-food cravings in two ways, both right away AND over time.

It only takes 20 minutes of moderate exercise to make a difference, according to the research from Western University.

Here’s how it works:

✅ Right away, exercise quiets your brain’s “reward” response to high-sugar, high-fat foods… making them feel less tempting.

✅ Over time, exercise strengthens the brain circuits linked to self-control, so willpower feels more like second nature.

This means that over time, as your brain’s reward system adapts, you can actually start to prefer nutrient-dense foods like fruit, lean protein, and nuts. 🤯

Things to try this week:

  • Take a 20- to 30-minute walk whenever it fits your schedule.

  • Strength or cardio 3–4x/week: Bodyweight, light weights, or cycling all count.

Let me know how it goes!

Make it an amazing rest of your week,
